Structure linkDatabase Manager CLI: SAP DB 7.4

With the Database Manager, you can perform complete and incremental Structure linkdata backups and Structure linklog backups. Both types of backup can be activated either interactively using the Database Manager GUI or by a background call using the Database Manager CLI.

For log backups, we recommend that you activate automatic log backup (Activating and Deactivating the Automatic Log Backup). However, you can also perform an Structure linkinteractive log backup to a file.

For SAP applications, the backup function of the Database Manager can be optimally scheduled and automated using the DBA planning calendar of the Computing Center Management System (CCMS). Log files are created for the performed backups in the SAP system logs and these give you an accurate picture of what happened during the backups.
