Clear and concise guide to R/3 archiving!!.This book gives a clear and concise approach to archive the business data in the R/3-System. What is most useful is that the customizing is explained. I think this is one of the most useful sapbooks. By reading this EXCELLENT book i have learned how to analyze the sap database, how to allocate the relevant sap archiving objects and how to design the tools to access the archived data.
As an experienced SAP consultant, I found this book extremely useful, comprehensive and concise.

First of all, the book is translated from another language, probably Germany. It seems they used a translation tool without human edition. So the text is awkward to read.
Secondly, there're not much technical knowledge, nor much business knowledge being demonstrated in this book. It's very elementary. The whole book can summarized in a couple of pages, and one won't miss much from several hundreds pages of bad English.

This book provides a complete and clear overview of SAP's archiving functionality. The information is very well structured and even though the level of detail is not enough to do it completely yourself, the book at least will direct you in the right direction. I found this book very helpful, but I do have one comment that bothered me a lot while reading. The book was written by a German author and the English was very bad. Not only were some words very badly chosen (definitely using a dictionary) there were also a lot of grammatical errors. Since this is not a novel, this should not stop you from buying this book, because the information is still very useful, but I do hope the publisher will have somebody check the language before the next release.
