You need to regularly back up your database, so that you can recover the database if errors occur.

To define a backup and recovery strategy is one of the most important tasks of a database administrator. However, there is no general recommendation for such a strategy, because it always depends on the underlying database, system setup and landscape.

If you have several components (for example, ABAP and Java applications) running on the same database, the database backup always covers the data of all components.

More information on how to back up your database: Database Administration. For further details, check your database-specific documentation.
