Skip this step if the SAP DB/MaxDB media and pipes to be used with Data
Protector are already existing on the SAP DB/MaxDB Server.
Note that to restore a Data Protector SAP DB/MaxDB backup session, the number
of SAP DB/MaxDB media and pipes required equals the parallelism value used
during the backup session.
Create SAP DB/MaxDB media in an SAP DB/MaxDB media group. Execute the
following command for every medium to be created, depending on the
SAP DB/MaxDB version:
• For MaxDB version 7.6:
medium_put media_group_name/medium_name pipe_name
media_type type backup_type [size [block_size [overwrite
[autoloader [os_command [tool_type]]]]]]
• For other SAP DB/MaxDB versions:
medium_put media_group_name/medium_name pipe_name
media_type backup_type
backup_type
can be one of the following:
• DATA for full backup
• PAGES for differential (diff) backup
• LOG for transactional (trans) backup
tool_type
must be the following:
• "BACK" for backup with Backint for MaxDB
IMPORTANT:
When creating SAP DB/MaxDB media and pipes for the purpose of a Data
Protector backup and restore, the media group name must begin with the
"BACK"
string. The commands below create two media and two pipes
(parallelism = 2) in a media group:
Windows, MaxDB version 7.6:
medium_put BACKDP-Data[2]/1 \
\\.\Pipe\inst_name.BACKDP_Data[2].1 PIPE DATA 0 8 \
NO NO \"\" "BACK"
