The following backups are required to fully recover your SAP database server in the event of a disaster.

• Create a full SAP database server file system backup using Backup Exec.

  When creating this backup, include both the SAP database directory and the Windows system directory. However, if the database must remain open, do not include the SAP database tablespace data files in this backup.

• Create a second backup containing the SAP database tablespace data files.

  See your SAP Database Administrators Guide for details.
