Question - How Do I Perform A Database Backup?
Answer -
To perform a database backup, use the MaxDB backup tools DBMGUI or DBMCLI. You can use the scheduling calendar (DB13 or DB13C) to schedule a backup for a particular point in time and execute it implicitly.
It is possible to execute file system backups of MaxDB volumes when the database is offline only, though we recommend this only in exceptional circumstances (such as if you use snapshots or split-mirrors).
