How can we plan a backup strategy for a ECC + content server landscape , the system being a legacy system - used for short durations when users need it - not a lot of activity .
You will need to schedule a backup for the database used by the ECC system and a backup for the MaxDB database which is used by the Content Server. If you need backups for the non-DB filesystems then you should consider scheduling backups for them as well. You should probably ask the business to understand the backup requirements. If they are OK with just one backup for a week then schedule the backups accordingly. You should advice them the consequences of having only one backup in a week.
The strategy varies from customer to customer, but SAP does provide some general guidelines.
If you need a point in time recovery offline backup is recommended.
In future, please keep a complete offline backup saved in the tape atleast. As per official SAP recommendation a complete offline DB plus file system backup needs to be taken atleast every 28 days and you should store it on TAPE for a lot more time. Please liaise with your DBA who should be able to help you with this.
Also filesystem backup of /usr/sap/sid should also needed (the important file in this case are the profile files and the SDM program files (repository)
