Hello....does anyone know of a way to create incremental backups without having to overwrite the previous? Is there a flag to set?

I would like to keep 2 days worth of incrementals "online".

Hello Paul,

For further information about MaxDB backup you can check note [1377148|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1377148].

Hi Eduardo,

Thank you for the information.

Being that there is no information within this SAP note about creating a new file for each incremental backup, should I assume that there is no option available for this?

I can easily create a script to rename the file at the OS level, but I am still curious as to whether this can be done through the backup template.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

To change the Properties of Backup Templates you can check the following website:

[http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_8/34/f156361b204f7a86ab032b8807b8c6/frameset.htm|http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_8/34/f156361b204f7a86ab032b8807b8c6/frameset.htm]

Thanks Eduardo.

I see from this that I cannot change the name of the backup file. I will have to do it at the OS level.
