Veritas NetBackup™ for SAP Administrator's Guide

Using NetBackup for SAP to perform a backup

You can use the following methods to perform a backup with NetBackup for SAP:

  • Manual SAP backups

    You can use the NetBackup server software to manually execute an automatic backup schedule for the SAP policy.

  • Automatic SAP backups

    The most convenient way to back up your database is to set up schedules for automatic backups. When the NetBackup scheduler invokes a schedule for an automatic backup, the SAP scripts start the database backup.

    The SAP scripts run as follows:

    • In the same order as they appear in the file list

    • On all clients that have them (that is, matching path names)

    There are instructions that explain how to create and configure a policy that uses the SAP scripts to back up your database automatically according to the schedules you specify.

  • Client-initiated SAP backup

    The SAP tools on the SAP host can, either manually or via a non-NetBackupscheduler, initiate a backup to the NetBackup backint or libsapora/orasbt APIs.
