You can use the Database Manager GUI to back up data or log entries using backup tools from other providers. The Backup Wizard supports backups to tapes and succeeding tapes using backup tools from other providers.
Connecting Backup Tools from Other Providers
Under normal circumstances, you should back up a database instance in the ONLINE operational state.
You can also backup database instances in the ADMIN operational state, but only in exceptional circumstances.
If you want to use backup tools from other providers, choose the following settings when you create the backup media (see Creating a Single Backup Medium, Creating a Group of Parallel Backup Media or Changing Backup Media):
General
· Choose the device type Pipe.
· Specify the operating system path of this pipe under Device/File.
When you back up the data, proceed as described under Backing Up to a Single Backup Medium or Backing Up to a Group of Parallel Backup Media. Use the required backup media.
You can check the results of your data or log backups using the Backup History.
