Procedure

  1. Choose Instance ® Configuration ® Backup Media
    A list of the backup media already defined is displayed.
  2. Select the medium you want.
  3. Follow the appropriate description below:

Change media name

Choose BackupMedia ® Rename and make your changes.

Press the Enter key to save your changes.

Change the properties of a medium

Select BackupMedia ® Edit and make the desired changes.

Name:

Freely definable name to identify the medium

If you want to perform a backup or a restore using one of the external backup tools ADSM, NetWorker, Backint for Oracle, or Backint for SAP DB, ensure that the name of the medium starts with ADSM, NSR, BACK, or BACK (Backup with External Backup Tools).

Location:

Define the location to which backups are to be made.

With files and pipes, we recommend specifying the absolute path to the backup medium.

Device Type:

Select the type of backup medium:
File, tape, or pipe.

When you are backing up to tape, you need to set the device driver correctly under the UNIX operating system. Use rewind tapes for backups. On Windows NT/Windows 2000 operating systems, the system sets the device driver automatically.

If you back up the log to a file, the Database Manager GUI automatically generates version files. An automatic Structure linklog backup cannot be made to tape.

If you are saving with external backup tools, enter Pipe as the Device Type.

Backup Type:

Select the type of backup you want (full or incremental Structure linkdata backup, interactive log backup, or automatic log backup)

Select Save to save your entries.

Deleting Medium

Choose BackupMedia ® Delete and confirm with OK.
