Maybe if you give more information about How you backup ?

1. Create a Transport of Copies with the objects you wish to backup, release it, and store the files created in the cofiles and data directories of the appserver.

2. Use ABAP Git. https://blogs.sap.com/2017/06/21/abapgit-so-easy/

abapGit is the way to go

Is SAPlink alive today

[matt]

I think it morphed into ABAPGit, didn't it? Or parts of it are in there?

As far as I know, there is no way you can mass copy programs.

Instead you can create a program which calls the FM RS_COPY_PROGRAM in a loop, and that way you can do mass copy.

I second Frederic, I don't understand what "backup" means for you. Do you simply mean mass copy or do you really want to backup your source code, and so can you provide details?

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Why copy your programs, isn't version management enough?

As Matthew said , TR or ABAPGit best ever way.

However if you are on version < SAP BASIS 702 and want to backup code to local machine, Report REPTRAN is also a good option.
