SAP HANA DB: Backing Up the Database
Prerequisites
You have not yet resumed production operation of the SAP system.
Procedure
Make sure that you can recover the database. This step depends on whether archiving is switched on or off:
Archiving switched off
Since the log mode is reset to its original value after the update, you have to back up the database completely before you can start production operation again. You can then continue with the update.
Archiving switched on
We recommend that you make a complete backup so that you do not have to restore all the logs again if you recover the database.
