You can use the Database Manager GUI to back up a database instance. The database instance can be on a local computer or on a remote computer.
You can back up data from the data area and log entries from the log area on backup media.
To perform backups in the background, use the Database Manager CLI (see Database Manager CLI, Backing Up and Restoring Database Instances).
We recommend that you make a plan for regular administration tasks.
You can use the Database Manager GUI or the Backup Wizard for the following activities:
· Execute backups (see Backup Procedures)
· Displaying the Backup History
For SAP
applications, you can use the DBA Planning Calendar of the Solution
Lifecycle Management System (CCMS) to plan and automate the backup functions
of the Database Manager and the administration of the backup media. For more
information, see Database Administration in CCMS, DBA Planning
Calendar.
