Integrating SAP R/3 and Data Protector
Introduction
Chapter 2 145
Introduction
Data Protector integrates with the SAP R/3 Database Server to offer
online backup of your SAP R/3 databases.
If the SAP R/3 system uses an Oracle database, then the Data Protector
SAP R/3 integration can be used for backup. If any other database is
used by SAP, then the corresponding Data Protector integration of that
database (for example, Informix) must be used instead.

Announcements, Software Notes, and References or

for up-to-date information about
platforms supported by the integration.
The online backup concept is now 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
database performance.
The SAP R/3 part of the integration provides storage management
utilities. These utilities communicate with Data Protector via the Data
Protector backint executable, which complies with the SAP R/3 backup
interface.
Advantages Using Data Protector with the SAP R/3 Database Server offers several
advantages over using SAP R/3 alone:
Central Management for all backup operations
You can manage backup operations from a central point. This is
especially important in large business environments.
•Backup Management
Backed up data can be duplicated during or after the backup to
increase fault tolerance of backups, to improve data security and
availability, or for vaulting purposes.
•Media Management
