About NetBackup for SAP
NetBackup for SAP integrates the database backup and recovery capabilities of SAP with the backup and the recovery management capabilities of NetBackup.
NetBackup for SAP supports SAP environments based on the following databases:
Oracle databases. In an Oracle environment, you can use the Oracle database either with or without the recovery manager (RMAN).
SAP DB and MaxDB™ databases. This documentation describes using NetBackup for SAP with both SAP DB and MaxDB databases. For readability, the remainder of this manual uses only the term "MaxDB" to describe these database platforms.
Note:
When necessary, differences are explained between using SAP on an Oracle database and SAP on a MaxDB database. For most tasks, NetBackup for SAP operates the same way in each environment.
