Foundational and intermediate coverage of SAP Backup and Recovery: why backup/recovery strategy matters for business continuity, the core architecture of database and application-layer backups across ECC, S/4HANA on-premise, and HANA, and how to design, configure, and validate a backup and recovery strategy that meets RPO/RTO requirements in real production landscapes.
Lessons in this topic
- Designing and Configuring a Backup Strategy Across ECC, S/4HANA, and HANAExplains how to design and configure a practical backup strategy including full/incremental database backups, log backups, backup scheduling tools, and how the approach differs between classic RDBMS-based ECC systems and HANA-based S/4HANA systems.
- Monitoring Backup Jobs and Verifying Recovery ReadinessLearn how to monitor backup execution, validate backup catalog integrity, and prove recovery readiness through structured restore testing across classic ECC databases and SAP HANA systems.
- Why Backup and Recovery Matters in SAP LandscapesIntroduces the business and technical purpose of backup and recovery in SAP systems, the key concepts (RPO, RTO, full/incremental/log backups) and how these apply differently across ECC, S/4HANA, and HANA.
