Backup for MaxDB / Oracle for Content server

Hello All,

We are using HP server & Unix as operating system.

We use HP protect to take backup, with BR tools ECC6 is taken as backup.

Please clarify the below questions.

1. Can I use Oracle as data base for SAP Content server instead of SAP MaxDB.

2.If only SAP MaxDB should be used, will the HP protect will take care of Backup.

i.e any role BR tools will place in this backup.

3. Any backup strategy such that HP protect can be configured to take SAP MAX DB backup also.

4. Customer is currently using HP protect which takes Oracle backup, any way to extend it to Max DB.

Thanks,
