Preparations

The following example uses single-server HANA 2.0 running on SUSE 11 SP4 for SAP to demonstrate how to use a custom script to freeze and unfreeze the HANA database in order to implement database backup.

Context

An enterprise purchases ECSs and installs HANA 2.0 on ECSs for saving business data. As data increases, crash-consistent backup cannot meet the RTO and RPO requirements and therefore application-consistent backup is needed.
