Integration Concept
This integration links SAP R/3 backup utilities (BRTOOLS) with Data
Protector. SAP R/3 backup utilities provide an interface between an
SAP R/3 Database Server and media management applications, like
Data Protector. They enable the backup or restore of the following SAP
R/3 data objects:
Protector. SAP R/3 backup utilities provide an interface between an
SAP R/3 Database Server and media management applications, like
Data Protector. They enable the backup or restore of the following SAP
R/3 data objects:
• data files
• control files
• online redo logs
• offline (archived) redo logs
• SAP R/3 logs and parameter files
Because SAP R/3 Database Servers run on top of Oracle databases, the
SAP R/3 backup objects are very similar to those of Oracle. The main
difference is that SAP R/3 backup utilities hide the database from Data
Protector, which sees those objects as plain files.

Version 4.5 and higher of the SAP R/3 backup utilities allows Oracle data
files to be backed up directly using the Oracle Recovery Manager
(hereafter referred to as RMAN mode), as well as using the Data
Protector Oracle Integration (hereafter referred to as the backint
mode). This is very useful because RMAN supports incremental
backups, and thus the backup time and the amount of backed up data
can be significantly reduced.
