Hello Everyone,
Am an ABAPer with a little knowledge on UNIX.. am pretty much naive to database backups..... on further reading at help.sap.com... found that SAP provides its own BR tools for backup, recovery, restore, etc....
The only thing that is not clear to me is how the BRBACKUP or BRARCHIVE initiated or scheduled...Wanted to know the various procedures for scheduling the BRBACKUP so that the same can be monitored in DB13 transaction...I think it can be done with the procedures below but again not confident enough:
1. Can these be written in a shell script and scheduled in ABAP (SM36) using the SXPG__ function modules for calling external commands?
2. Can this be included in cron jobs at UNIX level?
3. I also saw some notes on changes in an intiliazation profile or file INIT.SAP.. Is this feasible?
Would be very much handy if anyone could let me know the best solution and any other way this can be achieved.
