PowerProtect Data Manager 19.11 SAP HANA User Guide

Performing restore of backups performed prior to PowerProtect Data Manager registration

Perform the following steps to restore an existing SAP HANA backup. An existing backup is a backup that you performed before integrating the SAP HANA agent with the PowerProtect Data Manager software and before adding an asset to a PowerProtect Data Manager protection policy.

1. Edit the existing auto configuration file, and append the following [SECONDARY_SYSTEM] information in the file. Modify the configuration file parameter settings provides details about the configuration file.

   NOTE The secondary CLIENT parameter is mandatory for the restore of an existing backup. The secondary CLIENT parameter setting is the same as the CLIENT parameter setting at the time of the original backup.

   For example, you can obtain the values of all four following parameters from the .utl file used for the original backup:

   [SECONDARY_SYSTEM]
   CLIENT=newdb
   DDBOOST_USER = mypolicy-0662e093dd6b-37247
   DEVICE_HOST = 10.118.156.240
   DEVICE_PATH = /mypolicy-0662e093dd6b-37247
   

   For a restore with a version 19.5 server and version 19.4 client, you must use the .utl file that was used for the original backup.

   NOTE After you restore the backup that was performed prior to registration with PowerProtect Data Manager, the catalog entries will not be visible for any new backups that are performed after the PowerProtect Data Manager registration.

2. In SAP HANA Studio, set all the following parameters to the pathname of the respective .utl file:

   • log_backup_parameter_file
   • data_backup_parameter_file
   • catalog_backup_parameter_file
3. Start the restore from SAP HANA Studio. Performing restore and recovery by using SAP HANA Studio provides details.
