Backup For SAP

This Blog talks about the ways and the significance of backup.

Storage is energetic to any computer system. It is doubly vital to an ERP system which serves as the memory for the business. Lose that memory and you’re out of business.

Backups are copies of all the important data on your system taken and preserved in such a way that you can recover your data no matter what happens. Making backups and being sure you have good ones is a best business practice. Typically an SAP system will have one or more storage administrators to take care of storage and backup systems. However as manager of the SAP system it’s important that you understand the basics of backup because it is so intimately connected with running a successful SAP system

Basically, ‘backup’ refers to three different things, only one of which is truly backup. There is short-term backup, which preserves a copy of the document for a short time, typically a week or two. There is true backup which saves a copy for a year or so. Then there is archival backup which saves important data permanently – or at least for five years.

Best Practices in Regression Testing

Practice 1: Regression can be used for all types of releases

Regression testing can be applied when

We need to measure the quality of product between test cycles (both planned & need based);
We are doing a major release of a product, have executed all test cycles, and are planning a regression test cycle for defect fixes; and
We are doing a minor release of a product (support packs, patches, and so on) having only defect fixes, and we can plan for regression test cycles to take care of those defect fixes.
There can be multiple cycles of regression testing that can be planned for every release. This applies if defect fixes come in phase or to take care of some defect fixes not working with a specific build.
