Configure SAP HANA databases for backup
Business Enterprise Elite The Hybrid Workloads agent for SAP HANA discovers databases running on the registered server hosts and fetches their details on the Databases page. However, the discovered databases are not yet ready for backup. You must configure databases to protect their data in the Druva Cloud.
Before you begin
Before configuring SAP HANA databases for backup, ensure that you read the following:
-
You are logged in as an administrator to the SAP HANA server host whose databases you want to back up.
-
Your SAP HANA server matches the requirements listed in the prerequisites topic for the SAP HANA server.
-
The All Databases tab lists the databases you want to back up. If a database you want to backup is not automatically discovered, you can discover databases on demand.
-
Ensure the Hybrid Workloads agent is connected to the Cloud for successful backup and recovery. Ensure you have assigned valid credentials to the SYSTEMDB for successful backup and recovery.
Procedure

Log in to the Management Console.
-
Click Protect > SAP HANA. If the All Organizations menu is enabled, select an organization and click Protect > SAP HANA.

In the left pane, click the All Databases tab.
The Databases page lists databases on the SAP HANA server hosts registered with Hybrid Workloads for SAP HANA.

Select the required administrative group from the Administrative Group drop-down list to logically categorize servers for better management. You can attach the databases to an existing administrative group or create a new one. See Manage administrative group.
