PAS-C01 Technology Practice Question
A company is running SAP HANA on AWS and wants to implement a disaster recovery strategy using a standby system in another AWS Region. Which THREE components are essential for this setup?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse AWS CloudEndure Migration (a migration tool) with a disaster recovery solution, but SAP HANA has its own native replication mechanism that must be used for database-level DR, making CloudEndure irrelevant for this specific scenario.
