Backup SAP ASE DBs

[Mofamike]

Are there any news to this topic? We also have a lof of vms with ase sybase databases and search for a way to backup them in a consistent way and try to find out the best solution for translog backups. Does anyone wanna share his procedure? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I recommend reading this topic, in particular, review this post. If you have any questions, please let me know.

We're researching different ways to support this application, and if you don't mind, I'd like to ask a couple of questions. Would you use a plug-in for Sybase ASE (similar to one of the existing ones for Oracle/SAP) to protect application data, and image-level backups to protect the VM itself? The main idea is to allow native backups on the application side while streaming data to the Veeam infrastructure. Do you run ASE workloads on standalone servers or clusters? What OS distributions do you have, and what ASE versions are you using?

@Mofamike fyi: I deleted a duplicated post from this topic.

Thanks!

Hey,

thank you very much for the answer.

- Would you use a plug-in for Sybase ASE (similar to one of the existing ones for Oracle/SAP) to protect application data, and image-level backups to protect the VM itself?

In any case, we would also use a plugin and do the VM backup dedicatedly. This is a viable option in the first step, especially for handling log files (similar to Saphana) and would simplify the procedure.
Of course, a unified solution without a plugin (everything just via VBR) would be even better.

- Do you run ASE workloads on standalone servers or clusters?

On HyperV and VMware Clusters (no standalone)

- What OS distributions do you have, and what ASE versions are you using?

OS: sles 15 sp6, DB: ase 16.0.4.6

Thank you very much for your efforts
