Restarting SAP During Online BRBackup

Darryl Griffiths
If your online BRBackup has been started from outside of SAP (e.g. by an enterprise scheduling tool perhaps), then you can safely restart the SAP application without affecting the backup.

Simply use the “stopsap r3” command option to bring down only the SAP application and leave the database running.

If the backup was scheduled within SAP (e.g. through DB13), then you are not advised to do this since SAP will be waiting for the BRBackup return code.
