Backint for SAP HANA is an API that enables 3rd 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 3rd party backup agent, which runs on the SAP HANA database server and then sends the backups to the 3rd party backup server.

3rd party backup tools that use the Backint API are integrated with SAP HANA's tools. You can execute the following actions directly from SAP HANA's tools:

  • Backup and recovery
  • Housekeeping (deleting old backups)
  • Configuration of tool-specific parameters

For more information on the integration of 3rd party backup tools with SAP HANA, please refer to the Administration Guide - Working with Third-Party Backup Tools.

Note: Installation documentation for the 3rd party backup tools is provided by the 3rd party tool vendors.

As a customer, what do I need to know?

Backup tools that use Backint for SAP HANA can only be installed on SAP HANA if they have been certified by SAP. You can find further details on this and on the installation of 3rd party tools on SAP HANA in general in the following SAP Notes:

Note: Snapshots are not part of the Backint API specification, and currently no certification is required for 3rd party tools using HANA snapshots.

Do I have to use a 3rd party backup tool to back up SAP HANA?

No, SAP HANA comes with native functionality for backup and recovery. Using 3rd party backup tools is an alternative to using the native SAP HANA functionality.

For more information on SAP HANA backup and recovery, please refer to the Administration Guide - SAP HANA Database Backup and Recovery.

As a tool vendor, what do I have to do to get my backup tool certified for SAP HANA?

A detailed description of the certification process is available on the following page: Backup/recovery API for the SAP HANA database (Backint for SAP HANA (HANA-BRINT 1.1))
