## Backint for MaxDB

### Purpose

This documentation specifies the Backint interface for MaxDB that can be used to connect external backup tools to the MaxDB Database Manager database tool.

### Implementation Considerations

You can download the MaxDB software from the MaxDB website (see Download and Installation Profile). The MaxDB software includes a special implementation of the Backint for MaxDB specification. This special implementation allows you to connect external backup tools with a Backint for Oracle interface to Database Manager (see Connecting to a Backint for Oracle Interface).

For more information on the database system, see Database System Concepts and Glossary.

### Features

Each implementation of a Bankint for MaxDB interface must include the following functions:

· Backup Function

· Restore Function

· Inquire Function

· Delete Function

The Backint for MaxDB program definition describes the formal requirements that must be met in order to implement Backint for MaxDB.
