SAP HANA Backup from Physical to Virtual Machine
Hello,
A customer is asking if it's possible to use Netbackup for their SAP HANA appliance and replicate it to a virtual machine? Purpose is no one is maintaining their SAP HANA appliance so they want it be converted to a virtual machine using Netbackup.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joann
Hello,
what is supported by NetBackup is a redirected restore of SAP HANA databases. It is documented in NetBackup for SAP Admin Guide.
I would not call it "replication" or "conversion", it is just one-time restore. I suppose you must have appropriate target VM+SAP machine purchased & prepared first - see https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/business-critical-apps/vmware-sap-hana-on-vsphere-5.5-for-production-environments-faq.pdf for more.
