Abstract: A computer-implemented method for backing up an in-memory database (IMD), the method comprises the steps of triggering a the securing of data of the in-memory database (IMD) to a first savepoint (SP1), securing data of the in-memory database to the first savepoint (SP1) and backing up the data of the first savepoint (SP1) on a per­sistent storage medium (7). The first savepoint may be stored on a fist persistent medium (3) and the backup of the savepoint may be stored on a second persistent storage medium (7). The backup of the savepoint may occur after the savepoint has reached consistency. The data of the savepoint may be backed up using flashcopy or snapshot technology. Backup of the savepoint may be controlled by a savepoint manager (2.1).
