The number of processes which are trying to read and write into the same disk at the same time.Underlying disk type and its throughput.These are not guaranteed speeds and depend on following factors: The Azure Backup service attempts to achieve upto ~420 MBps for non-log backups (such as full, differential and incremental) and upto 100 MBps for log backups for HANA. These validations will make sure that the data present in Azure Recovery Services vault is indeed reliable and recoverable. The Azure Backup service also performs a checksum to validate the streams, in addition to the backint native validation checks. The Backint component of HANA provides the ‘pipes’ (a pipe to read from and a pipe to write into), connected to underlying disks where database files reside, which are then read by the Azure Backup service and transported to Azure Recovery Services vault. The backups (log and non-log) in SAP HANA Azure VMs provided via Backint are streams to Azure Recovery services vaults and so it is important to understand this streaming methodology. Log backups only begin to flow after a successful full backup is completeĪfter Clicking Create, policy will be created and can be checked in Backup Policies.Set the frequency and retention controls.This can’t be disabled, since SAP HANA manages all log backups. Select Log Backup to add a transactional log backup policy, For longer retention, full backups can be used. Incremental backups can be retained for a maximum of 180 days.At most, one incremental backup per day can be triggered.In Incremental Backup policy, select Enable to open the frequency and retention controls. For longer retention, full backups must be use Differential backups can be retained for a maximum of 180 days.At most, one differential backup per day can be triggered.In Differential Backup policy, select Enable to open the frequency and retention controls. The monthly and yearly retention ranges behave in a similar way. The backup for a specific day is tagged and retained based on the weekly retention range and setting.For example, if daily full backup is selected, only one full backup is triggered each day. Recovery points are tagged for retention based on their retention range.The minimum retention period for any type of backup (full/differential/log) is 7 days.Clear any retention range limits that is not required and set those that are required. In Retention Range, configure retention settings for the full backup.Weekly: Select the day of the week, hour, and time zone in which the backup job should runs.Differential backups cannot be created for daily full backups.Daily: Select the hour and time zone in which the backup job should begin.In Full Backup policy, select a Backup Frequency, choose Daily or Weekly. Specify the Name of the Policy and specify the Full Backup Policy Multiple vaults can use the same backup policy, but backup policy must apply to each vault.įor setting up policy Go to Recovery Service Vault → Backup Policies, Click on Add:.A policy is created at the vault level.This will start a deployment which is going to deploy backup service on the databasesĪ backup policy defines when backups are taken, and how long they’re retained in vault for backup. Now, check the policy which will be applied to the backup and click on Enable Backup Select the required databases on which backup needs to be done and Click OK Now, add the databases by clicking Add Resources for which backup needs to be executed Go to Recovery Service Vault and then click on Configure Backup Same can be checked in Protected Servers in Recovery Service Vaults with the number of DBs that Azure found during discovery 3.2 Configure BackupsĪs the databases which needs to be backed up are discovered, now next step is to configure and enable the backup Then, need to select the hostname on which we need to configure the backup and then click on Discover DBsĪn Azure deployment will get started which will register host to protected Containerīelow screen will appear when Deployment gets succeeded Then we need to go to SAP HANA in Azure VM → Start DiscoveryĪzure Backup Service will try to discover the SAP HANA database on all the hosts associated in the region CONFIGRUATIONS 3.1 Discovery of DatabasesĪfter running the pre-registration script, we need to go to the Azure portal → Recovery Service Vault → + Backup This is in continuation of my previous blog post Backup and Recovery of SAP HANA Database on Azure using Azure Backup Plugin for HANA – Part I 3.
