Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4 (or 4a) already installed and a non-encrypted repository available with the appropriate access rights.Though the installation process is one of the easiest things to do in my opinion, I urge you to keep in mind the prerequisites, including: Though I should point out it is also important to take care of the underlying operating system (Red Hat or SUSE) and the SAP HANA installation and configuration files. In addition to the Backint API, the next important matter to discuss is that SAP HANA Backint only takes care of the database data, including full, differential, incremental and log backups and restores. While this may not be news to an experienced SAP Basis administrator, it’s worth sharing this information as for some of you, this may be new information and therefore, helpful. This approach is contrary to the typical Veeam agentless approach, and it is very important to understand the difference. During restore operations, SAP HANA tells Veeam Backup & Replication what data needs to be restored and Veeam delivering the data as appropriate. Therefore, Veeam Backup & Replication simply takes the data (technically from data pipes) and stores it into Veeam repositories. I feel compelled to point out that HANA handles its own backup catalog with its own retention and scheduling. This plug-In depends on SAP Backint for SAP HANA, which is an API that enables Veeam to directly connect the Veeam agent to the SAP HANA database. I have planned a series of blogs dedicated to SAP HANA and I encourage you read each of them as I will cover day-to-day operations and advanced topics such as system copies or recoveries without having an SAP HANA catalog in the future.īefore I discuss the details of deploying and configuring the SAP certified Veeam Plug-in for SAP HANA, I want to share with you pertinent details that may be helpful. If you are an experienced SAP Basis administrator, you may still find information of value as you scan through.

For this first blog I will cover how to install and configure the plug-in - mainly as a step-by-step guide for Veeam administrators with less or little Linux and SAP HANA knowledge. Unfortunately, this cannot be covered in one blog, but I’ve often found the best place to start is the beginning. Since the Veeam Plug-in for SAP HANA was introduced, I’m often asked about the installation and operation processes for it.
