Deleting Backups

You can use SAP HANA Studio, SAP HANA Cockpit, or SAP HANA HDBSQL to delete a data backup or the backups earlier than the specified one.

The following use a case where SAP HANA Studio is used to delete backups of SAP HANA 2.0 and Backint Agent is deployed to make full backup for data, catalog, and log and store the backups to OBS as an example to describe the backup deletion procedure.

1. Open SAP HANA Studio and double-click Backup on the left. On the page that is displayed, select Backup Catalog and select the target tenant from Database. The corresponding backups are displayed.

2. Right-click a backup to perform the following operations:

• To delete a single data backup, click Delete Data Backup.
• To delete the data backups earlier than the specified one, click Delete Older Backups. Third-Party Backup Tool (Backint) needs to be selected in the subsequent step.

3. If you want to delete all backups, select Catalog and Backup Location. If you want to delete only the backups from the catalog, select Catalog.

4. Click Next, confirm the information, and click Finish.
