Data Restore

With the configured Veeam Plug-In for SAP MaxDB, you can restore SAP MaxDB databases from Veeam Plug-In backups that reside on Veeam backup repositories. Restore operations are performed on the Veeam Plug-In side.

Depending on the available type of Veeam Plug-In backups that will be the source for the restored databases, you can perform the following restore operations:

Restoring from backup.

Restore SAP MaxDB databases from a Veeam Plug-In backup to the original server by using the recover_start command. For details, see Restore to Original Server.

Restoring from a backup copy.

Restore SAP MaxDB databases from backup copies created for Veeam Plug-In for SAP MaxDB backups. The procedure of database restore from a backup copy is the same as database restore to another server. For details, see Restore to Another Server.

Depending on the location of Veeam Plug-In backups that will be the source for the restored databases, you can also perform the following restore operations:
