system backup of HANA server and HANA DB.

[former_member191072]

Hi .

I'm creating some of documents for maintenance operation - hana server .

I want to confirm about backup of "HANA Server" . Also HANA server is SUSE linux , so normally I get backup of linux server by dump/restore command , use dd command when server offline  and on rescue mode kernel , or use something disk(partition) image backup tool .

I think it can use for SUSE linux server - HANA Server too.

In this time , if I get backup image of all disk  that  contains all HANA related files including persistent storage (of course hana is offline when get backup) , then I restore this image , can I use this HANA DB ?

I see some of documents of HANA backup , but I never find about this type system backup . It is not supported operation?

Regards,

JT

Hi Jim,

I've never heard this type of SAP HANA backup... Don't think it is supported...

Best regards,

HI Jim,

standard Linux system backup/recovery methods apply also for the SAP HANA servers.

However, backing up the SAP HANA database is only supported by the backup commands.
