Get cost-effective protection for SAP HANA with Backup and DR Service
- Protecting SAP HANA databases involves choices, but having a disaster recovery strategy is crucial.
- A cold DR strategy offers the perfect balance between cost-effectiveness and recovery time objectives.
- Google Cloud offers Backup and DR service with Persistent Disk (PD) snapshot integration for cost-effective, yet rapid recovery.
- This Backup and DR feature offers backup and recovery capabilities for virtual machines (VMs), file systems, multiple SAP databases (HANA, ASE, MaxDB, IQ), as well as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and Db2.
- Using this service, you select the time of backup, how long to retain backups, where to store the backups (regional/multi-regional) and in what tier of storage, along with specifying database log backup intervals to help ensure a low recovery point objective (RPO).
- The Backup and DR agent running in the SAP HANA node instructs the database to trigger a Savepoint image.
- Backup and DR helps simplify DR setup by allowing pre-configuration of networks, firewall rules, and other dependencies
- You can restore HANA databases to a local VM or your disaster recovery (DR) region, giving you the flexibility to use your DR region for various purposes.
- Using Backup and DR with PD snapshots offers better backup performance, reduced TCO, and operational simplicity.
- Persistent Disk Asynchronous Replication is a valuable alternative to Backup and DR.
