Note

If you want to use an external backup tool that is not included on this list, please contact Support.

Using the Backup Tools

Start the backup operation directly from the Database Manager CLI. The naming conventions for backup media enable the program to recognize the external backup tool and start it. The pipes for transferring the backup data are created implicitly by the DBM Server or the database in the course of a backup operation. They must exist available beforehand.

Prerequisites

You have the DBM operator authorization Backup.

The database instance is in COLD or WARM operation status. You have defined the media in accordance with the naming conventions for external backup media (Defining or Changing Backup Media).

Procedure

Proceed as described in Backing Up the Database Instance
