SAP Note 1651055 - Scheduling SAP HANA Database Backups in Linux

Component : Database Administration for SAP HANA - Database Persistence for SAP HANA

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1651055 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP Note provides a Linux shell script for scheduling SAP HANA Database backups, including both data and configuration files. The script supports customization of backup destinations, backup frequency based on day of the week, and generation of backup statistics in CSV format. It secures authentication through hdbuserstore and integrates existing backup catalog management as per SAP Notes 1812980 and 1852242. Intended as a demonstration, the script necessitates careful adaptation in actual deployments and complements rather than replaces SAP HANA’s native scheduling tools. Released for customer use on June 12, 2013, it requires thorough user-side knowledge for effective implementation.
