About the BC-BRI BACKINT Interface

One of the key outputs and then input parameters of the BC-BRI BACKINT Interface specification is an external backup ID (BID). The BID is a unique identifier that a successful backup NetBackup for SAP creates. After a backup, it is returned to SAP tools and stored for use for future inquire or restore functions.

The parameter has two formats:

  • VXF<ctime> - NetBackup for SAP Oracle

  • VXP<ctime> - NetBackup for SAP MaxDB

It is similar to the backup ID created by NetBackup (client_name_ctime) for all backup images but is not stored within NetBackup. The ctime in the BID matches the ctime in the NetBackup backup ID. Therefore allowing NetBackup for SAP to make efficient image queries to the image database on the master server.
