The implementation of a Backint for MaxDB interface enables the use of external backup tools to back up and restore MaxDB database systems. The database tool and the external backup tools communicate through an open interface.
This document describes which properties any implementation of Backint for MaxDB must have.
Since SAP has already created the open interface BACKINT for integrating common client/server backup programs in the ORACLE backup and restore program SAPDBA, the Backint for MaxDB interface is defined in the same way as BACKINT.
Backint for MaxDB is designed so that it can be implemented together with BACKINT (for Oracle) in a single program.
For general information on the MaxDB database system, see the documentation Database Administration.
