4.7 SAP R/3 and Archiving
ADSM is more than a backup/restore product. It also provides advanced storage
management functions, including operation with SAP R/3’s archive functions.
ARCHINT/ADSM provides advanced solutions for databases in an SAP R/3
environment. For example, SAP R/3 can extract or archive older inactive data
from a database and store it on an SAP R/3 application server. You can use
ARCHINT/ADSM to manage that data on an ADSM server. ARCHINT/ADSM can
also manage other SAP R/3 data such as print lists, outgoing documents, local
files, and incoming documents from either the SAP R/3 application or
presentation servers.
