Checking all Backups with R/3 

Use

Checking individual backups is not sufficient to ensure that your backup strategy is being implemented successfully. You should also periodically check all of your database dumps together to make sure that your strategy is being adhered to and there are no gaps in your backup sequence.

In the R/3 System, the Backup Monitor offers an overview of all database dumps or of all transaction log dumps scheduled in the Planning Calendar.

Procedure

  1. To access the Backup Monitor choose Administration ® CCMS ® DB Administration ® ® Backup logs.

    2. Alternatively, enter the transaction code DB12.

    The initial screen of the Backup Monitor appears.

  2. Choose Backup History and then All Backups.

    3. A result list appears showing technical details about all backups that have been executed. Select a backup and choose History info for additional details.

  3. If a backup failed diagnose exactly what happened. To do so, it is necessary to also look at the SQL Server error logs.
