To increase the security of your database system, we recommend that you archive the version files created during Log Backup and stored on the hard disk of your system at regular intervals (Version Files). To do this, copy the version files to another backup medium (see also Backups).
You
can perform this process manually or use external backup
tools.
For information on
which external backup tools are supported by the SAP DB database system, see
the documentation The SAP DB Database System in the section External Backup
Tool.
There are DBM commands available for archiving with external backup tools, with which you can copy the version files once or several times to external backup media.
The commands for archiving the version files to external backup media are supported from database version 7.04.03.
