PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 SAP HANA User Guide

Configure automatic backups of SAP HANA logs

The SAP HANA database server automatically performs periodic backups of the redo logs for a database. PowerProtect Data Manager does not perform any log or catalog backups. You cannot perform the log backups with any backup commands.

You can use the SAP HANA Studio GUI to configure the frequency of automatic log backups and whether the Backint interface is used for the log backups.

To configure the automatic backups of SAP HANA redo logs, complete the required settings in SAP HANA Studio.

On the Configuration tab of the Backup editor, complete the settings in the Log Backup Settings group box:

• Select Enable Automatic Log Backup.
• For Destination Type, select Backint.

• For Backup Interval, specify the log backup interval. Type the numeric value in the text box, and then select the unit of time, such as Minutes, from the menu.

  NOTE The recommended log backup interval is 30 minutes.

The following figure shows a configuration example in SAP HANA Studio.
