PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
A company is migrating an SAP system to AWS and wants to use AWS Backup to back up the SAP HANA database. What is a prerequisite for using AWS Backup with SAP HANA?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse AWS Backup's agent-based approach with other AWS services like Storage Gateway or DMS, assuming that backup of SAP HANA requires a separate storage or replication service rather than a dedicated agent that integrates with HANA's native backup interface.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Install the AWS Backup agent for SAP HANA on the database instance
AWS Backup for SAP HANA requires the AWS Backup agent to be installed on the SAP HANA database instance. This agent is a software component that integrates with SAP HANA's native backup capabilities, enabling AWS Backup to orchestrate and manage full, incremental, and differential backups of the HANA database. Without the agent, AWS Backup cannot communicate with the SAP HANA system to initiate or manage backups.
