Have you authenticated as this user? I just assume that you
have remained in the SQL session of the DBA after creating
the user ...

So, after doing e.g.

 CREATE USER TEST IDENTIFIED BY TEST DBA

in SQL Studio, you must log in as that user, to create any object 
belonging to him.

A backup means to store the state of the database present at
a certain point of time safely, to have at hand it when something 
unexpected happens. This is done in different strategies 
but always some backup command applies to a database as whole.

I assume you want to have the possibility to extract only the
data of one user, to take it with you and put it into another 
database. Such logical extraction, also known as replication,
can be done using the loader / replication manager tool supplied 
with SAP DB. Just see

for its documentation.
