Cintas uses Google Cloud Backup and DR to protect more than 250TB of critical SAP workloads. The SAP Basis team's transition to protect HANA instances using Persistent Disk Snapshot has resulted in ~15% savings in backup costs and a reduction in full backup duration from 1.5 - 3 hours to only 15 minutes.
