HP Application Recovery Manager software Integration guide (March 2008)

3 Application Recovery
Manager SAP R/3 integration
Introduction
This chapter explains how to configure and use the Application Recovery Manager
SAP R/3 integration (SAP R/3 integration). It describes concepts and methods you
need to understand to back up and restore the following files of the SAP R/3 database
environment (SAP R/3 objects):
• data files
• control files
• online redo logs
SAP R/3 offline (archived) redo logs, Oracle and SAP R/3 init files, and SAP history
files cannot be backed up using Application Recovery Manager. You can back up
these items to pipes (on UNIX) or tapes by using post-exec scripts, or using third–party
backup software.
Application Recovery Manager supports offline and online backups. During an online
backup, the SAP R/3 application is actively used.
Application Recovery Manager supports only full backups. Incremental backups are
not supported.
When the instant recovery completes, you can recover the database to a specific
point in time using the SAPDBA utility (SAP administration utility).
