About backing up MaxDB databases by using the SAP Agent

The SAP Agent supports the backup of SAP applications that run on the MaxDB(SAPDB) database.

Use the DBM command line interface or the MaxDB Database Manager graphical user interface to initialize and send a backup job to MaxDB’s BACKINT interface. MaxDB’s BACKINT then sends the backup job to the Symantec SAP Agent BACKINT interface, which executes the job. The SAP Agent supports backups to both local and remote Backup Exec media servers.

The SAP Agent supports the following SAP DB backup functions:

  • Backup of complete data.

  • Backup of incremental data.

  • Backup of log files.

Note:

The SAP Agent must be installed in a directory structure that is only two directories deep. If this directory structure is changed, and then change the SAP.PAR and BSI.ENV files accordingly.
