Back up a discovered SAP HANA database and its logs
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Use the following instructions to back up an SAP HANA database and its logs:
Click App Manager>Applications and enter the database
application name or use the filters to find the database that you need.
Right-click the application and select Manage Backup Plan.
On the Manage Backup Plan page, select a template and a profile and
click Apply Backup Plan.
The Apply Backup Plan dialog opens. Assign policy overrides and change
application settings as needed.
You can wait for the job to run during the period scheduled in the backup
plan, or you can run the job at the next opportunity by clicking on the
job and selecting Run Now.
If you back up a workload to a backup/recovery appliance that would exceed its
recommended storage capacity or snapshot limit, you will see a notification
with a recommendation to back up the data to a different backup/recovery appliance.
The job runs as soon as the scheduler has an opening, often immediately.
You can go to the Jobs Monitor to view the progress and details of the
job.
