Integrating SAP DB/MaxDB and Data Protector
Backing Up an SAP DB/MaxDB Database
Chapter 3 281
Backing Up an SAP DB/MaxDB Database
During the backup, the database can be in either the Admin or in the
Online mode. To perform an offline backup of an SAP DB/MaxDB
instance, a regular Data Protector filesystem backup should be
configured. See online Help index: “standatd backup procedure“ for more
information on filesystem backups.
During a backup in the Online mode, the database is open and available
for the other applications. During a backup in the Admin mode,
operations on the database are suspended.
Backup Methods To run a backup, use any of the following methods:
• Schedule a backup of an existing SAP DB/MaxDB backup
specification using the Data Protector Scheduler.
• Start an interactive backup using the Data Protector GUI or the Data
Protector CLI.
Scheduling an Existing Backup Specification
Data Protector allows you to run unattended backups at specific times or
periodically. The powerful Data Protector Scheduler can highly influence
the effectiveness and performance of your backup.
For more detailed information on scheduling, refer to the online Help
index keyword “scheduled backups”.
To schedule an existing backup specification, perform the following steps
in the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Manager:
