In this part we will study the system copy types and how to perform system copies using SAP and database vendor–provided tools and techniques. System copies are categorized into homogeneous system copies and heterogeneous system copies. In a homogeneous system copy, neither the underlying database nor operating system is changed during the copy procedure. In a heterogeneous system copy, the underlying database and/or the operating system is changed during the copy procedure. In this chapter we will study homogeneous system copies in detail, and in the next chapter we will cover heterogeneous system copies.
