SAP MaxDB Backup
To back up SAP MaxDB databases, you can use Database Manager CLI:
- Enter Database Manager CLI:
/opt/sdb/programs/bin/dbmcli -uUTL -d <database> -u <login>,<password> |
where:
- <database> is a database name
- <user> is a name for the database user has administrator rights
- <password> is a password for the database user has administrator rights
For example:
/opt/sdb/programs/bin/dbmcli -uUTL -d MAXDB1 -u DBADMIN,SECRET |
- Then, you will need to use the command backup_start to start the backup, choosing the medium you want to use:
backup_start <medium_name> |
where <medium_name> is the medium that you assigned during the database configuration. You can select the following media:
- VEEAMDATA is a media for a full data backup
- VEEAMPAGES is a media for an incremental data backup
- VEEAMLOG is a media for an interactive log backup
For example:
backup_start VEEAMDATA |
