Integrating SAP DB/MaxDB and Data Protector
Introduction
Chapter 3 255
•Media Management
Data Protector has an advanced media management system that
allows you to keep track of all media and the status of each medium,
set the protection for stored data, fully automate operations as well as
organize and manage devices and media.
•Backup Management
Backed up data can be duplicated during or after the backup to
increase fault tolerance of backups, to improve data security and
availability, or for vaulting purposes.
•Scheduling
Data Protector has a built-in scheduler that allows you to automate
backups to run periodically. With the Data Protector scheduler, the
backups you configure run unattended at the periods you specify.
• Local versus Network Backups
When configuring an SAP DB/MaxDB backup using Data Protector,
the location of devices is completely transparent to the user. They can
be connected to the SAP DB/MaxDB Database Server or any other
Data Protector clients on the network.
• Device Support
Data Protector supports a wide range of devices, from standalone
drives to complex multiple drive libraries. Refer to the HP OpenView
Storage Data Protector Product Announcements, Software Notes, and
References or http://www.hp.com/support/manuals
for an up-to-date
list of supported devices and other information.
•Monitoring
Data Protector has a feature that allows you to monitor currently
running sessions and view finished sessions from any system that has
the Data Protector User Interface installed.
All backup sessions are logged in the IDB and in the SAP DB/MaxDB
configuration, providing you with a history of activities that can be
queried at a later time.
