Backups

The ABAP environment relies on backups from SAP HANA Cloud:

Backups are retained up to 30 days.
The recovery point objective (RPO), which is the maximum data loss, is no more than 15 minutes.
Backups are stored encrypted and redundantly in different availability zones.

Note:

A point-in-time recovery requires a coordinated plan between you as a customer and SAP that clarifies the target point-in-time and the target time of execution.

You can initiate a restore via a service request by using component BC-CP-ABA. To perform a restore, please provide the following information:

The ID (GUID) of the ABAP environment service instance
The target point-in-time to which the instance should be restored specified in coordinated universal time (UTC)

Caution:

All data stored between the specified time and the time at which the service request is processed by SAP can't be retrieved.

Caution:

A point-in-time recovery changes data stored in the ABAP environment service database only. Other data will not be changed, which may lead to inconsistencies with communication integration configurations or integrated services.

Restriction:

In case of SAP-managed software updates that are part of scheduled maintenance, the target point-in-time can only be set after the last software update.
