Purpose
This article provides information about using Veeam Plug-in for SAP HANA to protect SAP HANA System Replication.
Solution
There are two methods to utilize Veeam Plug-In for SAP HANA when protecting nodes involved in SAP HANA System Replication.
Both methods use the same core Veeam Plug-In for SAP HANA installation and configuration steps for the source and target(s) of replication.
Independent
The Veeam Plug-In for SAP HANA treats each node as an independent machine. After takeover, changes must be done to realign existing backup data to cause the Plug-In to recognize the failover node as if it is the original node.
Federated
The Veeam Plug-In for SAP HANA deployed on each node is configured with a shared customServerName parameter so that the related nodes are seen as the same machine, allowing for a seamless transition after takeover.
