oh well thats not neccesary.

make your copies within the sap system. copy your reports, forms etc.

additionaly you got the version system, which pulls a new version for every transport request.

in most of the cases this is way enough.

HI Vincent,

Good!

U could retrieve these by using versoins. in the menu bar... go to ..Utilities~~>versions~~> version management

If you want a copy of that.

in the ABAP Editor, you could fine the download/upload button in green colour,

Sunil

If u have created a report using $tmp development class then the possible way is to ask your basis person to retrieve the data from tape..

If it is not a temporary object then it generates a version which u can check from

Abap Editor~~> Utilities~~> Versions--> Version management

To create this kind of "backups" of programs and function modules, you may use the ABAP statement READ REPORT..., read the source codes into an internal table and store these to your frontend...
