AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 5

A company is running an SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) system on an SAP HANA database that is 10 TB in size. The company is receiving notifications about long-running database backups every day. The company uses AWS Backint Agent for SAP HANA (AWS Backint agent) on an Amazon EC2 instance to back up the database. An SAP NetWeaver administrator needs to troubleshoot the problem and propose a solution.
Which solution will help resolve this problem?

Answer options

• A. Ensure that AWS Backint agent is configured to send the backups to an Amazon S3 bucket over the internet. Ensure that the EC2 instance is configured to access the internet through a NAT gateway.
• B. Check the UploadChannelSize parameter for AWS Backint agent. Increase this value in the aws-backint-agent-config.yaml configuration file based on the EC2 instance type and storage configurations.
• C. Check the MaximumConcurrentFilesForRestore parameter for AWS Backint agent. Increase the parameter from 5 to 10 by using the aws-backint-agent-config.yaml configuration file.
• D. Ensure that the backups are compressed. If necessary, configure AWS Backint agent to compress the backups and send them to an Amazon S3 bucket.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because increasing the UploadChannelSize parameter can optimize the backup process and improve performance based on the EC2 instance type and its storage capabilities. The other options do not directly address the efficiency of the backup process; while they may have some relevance, they do not target the root of the performance issue as effectively as adjusting the UploadChannelSize does.
