Restore with External Backup Tools (SAP Library - External Backup Tools: SAP DB 7.2 and 7.3)

Restore with External Backup Tools

You can perform backups using external backup tools (Backup with External Backup Tools). Restoring with external backup tools is supported by the Database Manager for the following backup tools:

ADSM/TSM
Backint for Oracle
Backint for SAP DB
NetWorker

Use of Backup Tools

You start the restore process directly from the Database Manager. Due to the naming conventions for backup media (media name), the program recognizes the external backup tool and starts it.

Procedure

If you use the Database Manager CLI for the restore, you must determine and display the external backup ID (DBMCLI). The Database Manager GUI automatically determines all of the required information for the restore. The Database Manger identifies the backup to be restored using the external backup ID.

Note

The number of media in a group of parallel media must be the same as the number that was used for the creation of the backup.

Start the restore of the database instance.

If you are using the Database Manager CLI, follow the procedure in Restore with External Backup Tools (DBMCLI).

If you are using the Database Manager GUI, follow the procedure in Restore with External Backup Tools (DBMGUI).
