Database
Documentation of a template shell script for controlling backup execution

Richard Bremer, Product Management SAP HANA

Data Backups in SAP HANA Database can be invoked in many different ways. One such way is to
invoke a data backup from the command line of the operating system of the SAP HANA Database
server. For such purposes, the creation of a Linux shell script that controls backup execution is
advisable. This document describes an example script for the Linux bash shell that can trigger the
execution of data and configuration backups of an instance of SAP HANA Database. The script
additionally contains functionalities to assist with (log-) backup housekeeping.
