AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 77

A company is planning to migrate its SAP S/4HANAand SAP BW/4HANA workloads to AWS. The company is currently using a third-party solution to back up its SAP HANA database and application. The company wants to retire the third-party backup solution after the migration to AWS. The company needs a backup solution on AWS to manage its SAP HANA database and application backups. The solution must provide secure storage of backups and must optimize cost.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Use SAP HANA Studio, SAP HANA HDBSQL, and SAP HANA Cockpit to perform backups to local Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes. Enable EBS volume encryption. Use AWS Backup to perform application backups with AMIs or snapshots to Amazon S3. Enable S3 encryption.
• B. Use SAP HANA Cockpit to implement a backup policy and perform SAP HANA database backups to Amazon S3 with AWS Backint Agent for SAP HANA. Enable S3 encryption. Use AWS Backup with backup plans to perform application backups with AMIs or snapshots. Enable S3 encryption.
• C. Use AWS Backup with backup plans to perform SAP HANA database backups to Amazon S3 with AWS Backint Agent for SAP HANA. Enable S3 encryption. Use AWS Backup with backup plans to perform application backups with AMIs or snapshots. Enable S3 encryption.
• D. Use SAP HANA Studio, SAP HANA HDBSQL, and SAP HANA Cockpit to perform backups to local Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes. Copy the backups to Amazon S3. Use AWS Backup to schedule application backups with AMIs or snapshots to Amazon S3.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is the correct solution as it effectively utilizes AWS Backup with backup plans to handle both SAP HANA database and application backups securely to Amazon S3 with AWS Backint Agent for SAP HANA. Options A and D rely on local Amazon EBS storage, which does not meet the requirements for optimized cost and secure storage. Option B, while close, does not include the use of AWS Backup with backup plans for the database backups.
