Alejandro, we have published a SAPDB how-to for these basic admin activities. The article is written in spanish, and available for download:
http://java.megaserv.com/sapdb-quickstart.pdf It does cover your case, using Linux instead of Windows, but the scripts are almost identical. We only use dbmcli (no GUI, just simple scripts). One thing is not covered, because we have not been able to make it work: restore data AND last log bakups after a clean reinstall. We can only guide you to restore your last full databackup after reinstall. Sorry, but we could not find this specific know-how in SAPDB docs. Everything we tried, failed. We will have to wait until someone writes a clear step-by-step how-to restore up to the last log backup from total crash.
