Process documentation Freezing the Data Area (Snapshots) Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

A snapshot freezes the current state of the data area. When you create a snapshot, you can continue to work with the data as normal and later revert to the state of the data area when the snapshot was made.

Caution

A snapshot does not prevent system failures. To be able to restore your data after a system failure, you must carry out data and log backups at regular intervals.

Prerequisites

The database instance is in the ADMIN operational state.
