Running a backup job with SAP HANA Studio

After the SAP HANA database system is registered and configured, a backup job can be executed.

Before you begin

One or more databases must be registered and properly configured in SAP HANA Studio before a backup job can be initiated.

About this task

SAP HANA Studio is used to initiate backup and restore (recovery) jobs. The DPX interface may be used to monitor the progress of jobs but should never be used to initiate backup or restore jobs. There are two options for initiating a backup job with SAP HANA Studio, using the backup wizard, or backing up a tenant database.
