PAS-C01 Technology Practice Question
Which THREE services can be used together to implement a disaster recovery solution for SAP S/4HANA on AWS with a recovery time objective (RTO) of less than 1 hour and a recovery point objective (RPO) of less than 15 minutes?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse AWS DMS with native SAP HANA replication, but DMS does not support SAP HANA as a source for ongoing replication with low RPO, and Glacier's retrieval latency makes it unsuitable for sub-1-hour RTO.
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
✓
SAP HANA System Replication across regions.
SAP HANA System Replication (HSR) across AWS regions provides synchronous or near-synchronous replication of HANA databases, enabling an RPO of less than 15 minutes and an RTO under 1 hour when combined with automated failover. This is the primary mechanism for achieving low RPO/RTO in SAP S/4HANA disaster recovery on AWS.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
SAP HANA System Replication across regions.
Why this is correct
HSR provides low RPO.
- ✓
AWS CloudEndure Disaster Recovery.
Why this is correct
CloudEndure can replicate EC2 instances with low RPO.
- ✗
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for ongoing replication.
Why it's wrong here
DMS does not support HANA as a source.
- ✗
Amazon S3 Glacier for long-term backups.
Why it's wrong here
Glacier retrieval times exceed 1 hour.
- ✓
Amazon S3 for storing HANA log backups.
Why this is correct
Logs can be used for point-in-time recovery.
