You can add a cloud tier schedule to a protection policy for SAP HANA centralized and self-service backups to cloud tier.
Prerequisites
Ensure that a DD system is set up for cloud tiering.
To ensure the success of the cloud tier archival jobs, ensure that the data movement schedule is enabled and set on the DD system.
About this task
Both SAP HANA centralized and self-service protection policies support cloud tiering. You can create the cloud tier schedule from primary, replication, and extended retention
objectives. Schedules must have a retention time of 14 days or more.
Cloud tiering happens at 00:00 UTC each day. Depending on your time zone, this time may be within business hours and thus cloud tiering may impact available network bandwidth.
Steps
Log in to
PowerProtect Data Manager with administrator credentials.
From the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select
Protection > Protection Policies, and then click
Add.
The
Add Policy wizard appears.
On the
Type page, enter a name and description, select
SAP HANA as the type of system to back up, and click
Next.
On the

Next.
On the

On the
Objectives page, click
Add under
Primary Backup if the primary backup schedule is not already created, and fill out the fields in the
Target and
Schedules panes on the
Add Primary Backup dialog.
NOTE There is no minimum recurrence required for the cloud
objective. However, the cloud tier schedule requires a minimum retention period of 14 days in the
Retain for field.
Click
Cloud Tier next to
Primary Backup or
Extend Retention or, if adding a cloud
objective for a replication schedule that you have added, click
Cloud Tier under

An entry for
Cloud Tier is created to the right of the primary or extended retention backup schedule, or below the replication schedule.
Under the entry for
Cloud Tier, click
Add.
The
Add Cloud Tier Backup dialog appears, with summary schedule information for the parent node. This information indicates whether you are adding this cloud tier
objective for the primary backup schedule, the extended retention schedule, or the replication schedule.
In the
Add Cloud Tier Backup dialog, set the following parameters and then click
Save:
Select the appropriate storage unit from the
