Using Backup Tools from Other
Providers 
Use
You can use backup tools from other providers to back up and restore data and log entries or to export and import data.
Some of these backup tools are supported directly by the database system. With operating system scripts, you can also use all other backup tools that can process backups from pipes.
If you are using a backup tool not directly supported by MaxDB, note the following: the Database Manager can not check whether a backup was successful when it has backed up to a pipe (and the backup history in the Database Manager does not contain any reliable information on this). Use your operating system script to check whether the backup was successful.
Further restrictions apply to backups to pipes, see Information on Different Types of Data Carriers.
When data is backed up or exported using a backup tool that is supported directly by the database system, each backup or data stream is given an external backup ID.
