Modern Storage Backups for SAP NetWeaver on Windows
MaxBack enables Veeam and Azure Backup to create application-consistent MaxDB snapshots — no SAP Backint agents, no separate backup infrastructure. Plus storage-level system copies in minutes instead of hours.
The Challenge
Your storage infrastructure is modern — but MaxDB can't participate without a bridge
Invisible to VM Backup
Without a VSS Writer, Veeam and Azure Backup can only create crash-consistent MaxDB snapshots.
Separate Backup Stack
Application-consistent MaxDB backups traditionally require dedicated Backint agents and infrastructure.
Slow System Copies
Streaming full database copies takes hours — even when your storage can snapshot in minutes.
No SAP Visibility
DBA Cockpit and Planning Calendar have no record that backups are happening.
How MaxBack Solves This
One VSS Writer bridges MaxDB and your existing backup infrastructure
One Backup Infrastructure
Veeam and Azure Backup produce application-consistent MaxDB snapshots within regular VM jobs.
Automatic Log Management
Transaction log backup and truncation happen automatically within each backup cycle.
Storage-Level System Copies
Restore data volumes and run autorecovery to recover the database to a consistent state.
Setup in Three Commands
Connect MaxBack to your database, install the license, and apply a configuration set. Your existing VM backup jobs will automatically produce application-consistent MaxDB backups.
- Application-consistent VM snapshots for MaxDB
- Backup history visible in SAP DBA Cockpit
- Log management within the backup cycle
- Autorecovery for VM restore and system copy
