Overview

Backint is a backup and restoration solution provided by SAP HANA. Backint for SAP HANA is an API that enables third-party tool vendors to directly connect their backup agents to the SAP HANA database. Backups are transferred via pipe from the SAP HANA database to the third-party backup agent, which runs on the SAP HANA database server and then sends the backups to the third-party party backup server.

Huawei Backint Agent is provided to back up the data in SAP HANA to OBS. After the SAP HANA database and Huawei Backint Agent are deployed and related parameters of SAP HANA database and OBS are configured, Huawei Backint Agent backs up the SAP HANA database to OBS, restores it, or deletes the backup files using SAP management tools, such as SAP HANA Cockpit, SAP HANA Studio, or SAP HANA HDBSQL. Backint can be applied to the following scenarios:

• Backup: Full backup, incremental backup, and differential backup for system or tenant data
• Restoration: Data restoration from the latest backup file, to a specified time point, or from a specified backup file
• Deletion: Deletion of specified backup file or backup files earlier than the specified one
• Query: Queries for full backups, incremental backups, and differential backups
