backup_finish
As of SAP MaxDB Version 7. 8, you can include file system backups in the SAP MaxDB backup history, which means that file system backups are also possible when the database is in ONLINE operational state. The database kernel creates an SAP MaxDB snapshot to establish the I/O consistency using a data backup to a backup template with the option EXTERNAL SNAPSHOT. You can then perform the file system backup, and you must explicitly inform the database of its success or failure using the DBM command backup_finish. In this way, you can perform the initial data backup also as a file system backup.
You have the server permission Backup.
You have created a backup template using backup_template_create <backup_template> To EXTERNAL SNAPSHOT and performed the backup ( backup_start) using this template.
