Syntax documentation Commands for External Backup IDs Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

Backups created with Structure linkexternal backup tools can be identified uniquely by means of an Structure linkexternal backup ID. These IDs are logged in the Structure linkbackup history. They can be called up using the commands for the backup history and must be entered when restoring using external backup tools.

To enable restores without a backup history, the external backup IDs of the backups currently in the backup tool can, however, also be determined using the Structure linkDBM commands.

Prerequisites

You have the DBM operator authorization Backup or DBInfoRead.
