SAP HANA Backup Strategy

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi All,

I need to design the Backup & Recovery strategy for one of my customer. They are migrating their non-SAP (Oracle) application to HANA and it is a scale-out. They are currently backing up their oracle database using Linux script and then to the storage using 3rd party tool.

Can I opt the same method for HANA backups using Suse Linux crontab (schedule the script to the local file system) and then use the 3rd party tool for storing it to tape. As per my understanding this method backs up the data and log is automatically backed up, but I am just wondering about the configuration files. Is there anyway to automate this as well. Kindly suggest any other strategies.

The db size after the compression is 6TB and so how can I calculate the backup destination disk size.

How much time it might take for 6 TB db backup.

Rgds,

Ernest

Dear Ernst,

It's worth reading

Please read the SAP Note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1642148 to understand SAP HANA backup and recovery in general. Answer to question 24 will answer your question about backing up configuration files.

If you like to schedule DB backups of SAP HANA including DB config file refer to SAP Note

Dear Bravo,

Being a SAP customer you need to request your SAP system admin to create a S number for the SAP Service Marketplace. You need this S number to access SAP notes.
