PAS-C01 Design of SAP Workloads on AWS Practice Question

A company is running SAP ERP on AWS. They want to implement automated backups for the SAP HANA database using AWS Backup. Which AWS service should they use to orchestrate the HANA backup?

⚠ Common exam trap

Test-takers frequently confuse AWS Backup's general snapshot capabilities with services like DLM or Systems Manager, not realizing that AWS Backup has specific SAP HANA Backint integration that makes it the only correct choice for orchestrating HANA database backups.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

AWS Backup

AWS Backup natively supports SAP HANA databases by integrating with the SAP HANA Backint agent, which allows you to define backup policies, retention rules, and cross-region copy directly from the AWS Backup console. This eliminates the need for custom scripting or manual orchestration, making it the correct service for automating HANA backups on AWS.

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • AWS Backup

    Why this is correct

    AWS Backup supports SAP HANA via Backint.

  • AWS Lambda

  • Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager

    DLM manages EBS snapshots, not HANA backups.
