BACKINT (SAP R/3 specific term)
SAP R/3 backup programs can call the
Data Protector backint interface
program via an open interface, which
enables them to communicate with Data
Protector software. For backup and
restore, SAP R/3 programs issue orders
for the Data Protector backint interface.
backup API
The Oracle interface between the Oracle
backup/restore utility and the backup/
restore media management layer. The
interface defines a set of routines to
allow the reading and writing of data to
the backup media, the creation,
searching and removing the backup
files.
backup chain
This relates to a situation where full and
incremental backups are performed.
Based on the level of the incremental
backups used (Incr, Incr 1, Incr 2, and so
on), simple or rather complex
dependencies of incrementals to
previous incrementals can exist. The
backup chain are all backups, starting
from the full backup plus all the
dependent incrementals up to the
desired point in time.
backup device
A device configured for use with Data
Protector, which can write data to and
read data from storage media. This can
be, for example, a standalone DDS/DAT
drive or a library.
backup generation
One backup generation includes one full
backup and all incremental backups
until the next full backup.
backup object
Any data selected for backup, such as a
disk, a file, a directory, a database, or a
part of it. During the backup session,
Data Protector reads the objects,
transfers the data (through the network),
and writes them to the media residing in
the devices.
backup owner
Each backup object in the IDB has an
owner. The default owner of a backup is
the user who starts the backup session.
backup session
A process that creates a copy of data on
storage media. The activities are
