As per IDC, Forrester and other research groups, continuous full and incremental data backups is a must to attain few seconds of RPO and under 10 minutes RTO. To mitigate risks due to unforeseen circumstances or human/machine errors, the first task across all environments (poc, dev, qa, & prod) must be to back up both code and operational data. With SAP HANA being a cornerstone of many organizations' data infrastructure, reliable backup mechanisms are essential to protect against data loss and ensure business continuity. In addition to backup and restore, data backups are being leveraged by several small and large organizations for reporting and audit trail purposes.
