Syntax documentation Commands for External Backup IDs Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

Backups that were created with external backup tools are assigned an additional external backup ID that is entered in the backup history. To carry out a restore with external backup tools, choose the relevant backup from the backup IDs in the log.

If there is no backup history, you can use DBM commands to determine the backup IDs for the backups that still exist in the backup tool.
