PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 SAP HANA User Guide

Performing backups by using the SAP HANA CLI in an MDC system

You must specify the correct credentials and database name in the hdbsql command to perform a backup of an SAP HANA MDC database.

For a backup of the primary system database SYSTEMDB, you must specify the system database administrator credentials with the hdbsql command.

For a backup of a tenant database, you can specify either the system database administrator credentials or the tenant database administrator credentials with the hdbsql command. However, do not try to use the system database administrator credentials for a direct connection to a tenant database.

For example, the following command backs up the tenant database DB0 by using a connection to the SYSTEMDB database through the system database administrator credentials:

 hdbsql -i 00 -u system_database_administrator_username -p system_database_administrator_password [-U user_key] -d SYSTEMDB "backup data for DB0 using backint ('/usr/sap/SID/SYS/global/hdb/backint/DB_DB0/prefix')"

The following command backs up the tenant database DB0 by using a direct connection to the database through the tenant database administrator credentials:

hdbsql -i 00 -u tenant_database_administrator_username -p tenant_database_administrator_password [-U user_key] -d DB0 "backup data using backint ('/usr/sap/SID/SYS/global/hdb/backint/DB_DB0/prefix')"
