Configuring an SAP R/3 Backup
To configure an SAP R/3 backup, perform the following steps:
1. Configure the devices you plan to use for a backup. See the online
Help index keyword “configuring devices” for instructions.
2. Configure media pools and media for a backup. Refer to the online
Help index keyword “creating media pools” for instructions.
3. Create a Data Protector SAP R/3 backup specification. See “Creating
a Data Protector SAP R/3 Backup Specification” on page 180.
4. Create or modify the parameter file on the SAP R/3 Database Server.
See “Creating or Modifying the Parameter File on the SAP R/3
Database Server” on page 190.
5. If you plan to use Recovery Manager for backup, you must do some
additional configuration steps. See “Backing Up Using Recovery
Manager” on page 191.
Creating a New Template
You can use backup templates to apply the same set of options to several
backup specifications. By creating your own template, you can specify
the options exactly as you want them to be.
This allows you to apply the options to a backup specification with a few
mouse clicks, rather than having to specify the options over and over
again. This task is optional, as you can use one of the default templates
as well.
To create a new backup template, proceed as follows in the Data
Protector Manager:
1. In the Context List, select Backup.
2. In the Scoping Pane, expand Templates and right-click SAP R/3.
3. Click Add Template. Follow the wizard to define the appropriate
backup options in your template.
You can also modify any of the existing pre-defined templates.
