Backup
Data Protector integrates with the SAP DB/MaxDB Database Server to
offer an integrated online backup of SAP DB/MaxDB instance. The
following SAP DB/MaxDB instance objects are backed up using the Data
Protector SAP DB/MaxDB integration:

• SAP DB/MaxDB configuration and
• SAP DB/MaxDB archive logs
The online backup concept is widely accepted because it addresses the
business requirements of high application availability. During backup,
the database is online and actively used. The backup is performed
quickly and efficiently, with the least possible impact on the database
performance. When an SAP DB/MaxDB database is backed up using the
Data Protector SAP DB/MaxDB integration, it can be switched to either

Offline backup of SAP DB/MaxDB objects is not integrated. The
standard Data Protector filesystem backup can be performed in such a
case. For more information on how to perform a Data Protector
filesystem backup, online Help index: “standard backup procedure“. It is
also not possible to perform an integrated Data Protector
SAP DB/MaxDB restore from an offline filesystem backup.

SAP DB/MaxDB data and archive logs are backed up or restored in
streams, whereas the SAP DB/MaxDB configuration is backed up or
restored as ordinary files. After the backup has finished, the archive logs
can either be deleted or kept on the SAP DB/MaxDB Server, depending
on the selected options.

The integration supports SAP DB/MaxDB backup modes, thus it is
possible to perform an SAP DB/MaxDB full backup (data backup),
SAP DB/MaxDB differential backup (pages backup), or
SAP DB/MaxDB transactional backup (log backup).
