Procedure documentation Connecting to a Backint for Oracle Interface Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Many external backup tools have a Backint for Oracle interface. The program Backint for Oracle can backup any files in the file system, regardless of whether the Oracle database system is installed on the server or not. The following description of how to connect SAP DB to a Backint for Oracle interface assumes that this feature is guaranteed by the vendor of the external backup tool with the Backint for Oracle interface.

After the SAP DB software has been configured accordingly, the SAP DB database tools can be connected to the Backint for Oracle interface of an external backup tool for backup, restore, unload, and reload purposes.

The connection is made by using an adapter program that implements a Backint for SAP DB as well as the Backint for Oracle of the external backup tool. This adapter program is part of your SAP DB installation.

After you have triggered the relevant action by using the SAP DB database tool, the SAP DB adapter program copies the dataset bit by bit into temporary files. The SAP DB adapter program calls the Backint for Oracle program several times in succession to save these temporary files by using the external backup tool.
