Background documentation External Backup ID Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

When an external backup tool is used to back up or unload data, each backup or data stream is given an external backup ID. When a backup has been created to a group of parallel backup media, each part of this backup is given its own external backup ID.

The database system writes the external backup ID to the log file dbm.ebf; it is also displayed in the backup history.

The Loader writes the external backup ID to the log file of the Loader and to the Loader-related system tables. The external backup ID is required when loading and restoring data, to request the required backup or data stream.
