Backing up and restoring data

Backing up and restoring data for SAP HANA is performed using SAP HANA utilities, such as SAP HANA Studio, Cockpit, or HDBSQL; backups and restores are not performed using the NetVault Backup WebUI.


	IMPORTANT: NetVault relies on SAP HANA utilities to perform maintenance and housekeeping operations, such as deleting obsolete data backups and log backups. For best performance, complete these maintenance and housekeeping operations regularly. For more information, refer to the SAP HANA documentation.

When a backup job is triggered in SAP HANA, hdbbackint creates the job in NetVault Backup. You can use the NetVault Backup WebUI to monitor the status of each job that hdbbackint initiates. After the job is finished, you can continue to use the WebUI to review pertinent information.

For more information on any of the SAP HANA utilities, see your SAP HANA Administration Guide.
