As per IDC, Forrester and other research groups, continuous full and incremental data backups is a must to attain few seconds of RPO and under 10 minutes RTO. To mitigate risks due to unforeseen circumstances or human/machine errors, the first task across all environments (poc, dev, qa, & prod) must be to back up both code and operational data. With SAP HANA being a cornerstone of many organizations' data infrastructure, reliable backup mechanisms are essential to protect against data loss and ensure business continuity. In addition to backup and restore, data backups are being leveraged by several small and large organizations for reporting and audit trail purposes.

The Need for Data Backup

Leading Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, Home Depot, JPMorgan Chase, Facebook, and Target have also fallen victim to some of the most significant data breaches in history. This highlights a widespread vulnerability across the corporate landscape, where virtually no large entity has remained untouched.
Over the past decade, the repercussions of inadequate cybersecurity measures have reverberated throughout the business world, resulting in staggering financial losses amounting to billions of dollars.
Moreover, these breaches have left consumers exposed to the risk of financial crimes, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced security protocols and proactive measures to safeguard sensitive data.

By partnering with Zoom Backup for SAP HANA backup, businesses can mitigate risks, safeguard their data assets, and maintain uninterrupted operations, even in the face of unforeseen challenges or disasters.

SAP HANA Architecture

SAP HANA employs an innovative in-memory computing architecture, enabling lightning-fast data processing and real-time analytics.

SAP HANA ENCRYPTION

SAP HANA backup encryption is a crucial security measure employed to protect sensitive data stored in the SAP HANA database. By encrypting backups, organizations can ensure that even if the backup files are compromised or stolen, the data remains inaccessible to unauthorized parties.

DATA RESTORATION

SAP HANA facilitates efficient and reliable data restoration by offering comprehensive tools like point-in-time recovery and various backup options such as full, incremental, and differential backups. Its in-memory architecture helps in fast restoration, minimizing data loss and ensuring business continuity.

SAP HANA AUDIT TRAIL

It offers a comprehensive audit trail feature, providing users with the ability to track and view the complete lifecycle of data changes, enhancing transparency, accountability, and compliance efforts.

DATA RETENTION POLICIES

Zoom Backup offers up to 7 years of Data Retention, with the option to extend it further through personalized plans

CLOUD BACKUP OF SAP HANA

Cloud providers like Azure, AWS, GCP and OCI offer seamless integration with SAP HANA, allowing organizations to leverage native backup and recovery features within the SAP HANA Cloud platform. This integration streamlines backup processes, enhances data protection, and simplifies management tasks for SAP HANA administrators.

DATA ACCESS POLICIES and SECURITY

Regular reviews of user access rights and permissions are essential to ensure compliance with data access policies. These reviews involve monitoring user access levels, identifying any unauthorized access or excessive permissions, and taking corrective actions as needed. Implementing tools and systems to monitor data access activities in real-time and log access events for auditing purposes helps detect unauthorized access attempts or suspicious activities, providing a record of who accessed the data and when.

MONITORING

Monitoring involves constant surveillance and verification of backup systems and processes to confirm that backups are up-to-date, complete, and functioning correctly. It encompasses various measures, including automated checks, regular audits, and real-time notifications (alerts), to promptly identify any issues or discrepancies in the backup infrastructure. By continuously monitoring data backups, organizations can mitigate the risk of data loss and ensure that critical information remains safeguarded against potential disruptions or disasters.

AI FOR DATA BACKUPS

AI algorithms can detect anomalies in backup processes, such as failed backups, corrupt data, or unusual access patterns. By identifying and addressing these anomalies in real-time, organizations can mitigate potential data loss risks and ensure the reliability of backup operations.
AI algorithms can intelligently identify and eliminate duplicate data across backups, reducing storage requirements and optimizing backup performance. AI-powered backup solutions can perform intelligent verification checks to ensure the integrity and recoverability of backup data.
