Most of the companies have BW administrators responsible for R/3 administration as well. Depending on the SAP landscape and the version of the BW system the responsibilities can vary, but most of the common responsibilities include installation and upgrade of the BW system, backup and recovery, performance tuning, setup and support the transport system, applying patches and so on.

Additional BW system administrator responsibilities could be troubleshooting R/3, handling database and UNIX system problems, and copying and renaming of existing R3 systems.
