Quick Answer
The correct answer is Amazon S3 for storing HANA log backups, HANA System Replication, and CloudEndure Disaster Recovery. HANA System Replication provides the low recovery point objective by continuously replicating data to a secondary system, while storing log backups in Amazon S3 enables log replay for point-in-time recovery, and CloudEndure Disaster Recovery replicates entire EC2 instances to meet the sub-hour recovery time objective. On the AWS Certified SAP on AWS Specialty PAS-C01 exam, this question tests your ability to combine native SAP replication with AWS-native disaster recovery tools for SAP S/4HANA, specifically avoiding services like AWS DMS, which does not support HANA, or Amazon S3 Glacier, whose retrieval times exceed one hour. A common trap is assuming a single service can achieve both low RPO and RTO, but the correct approach layers HANA-level replication with instance-level replication and durable backup storage. Remember the mnemonic: “Replicate, Recover, Store” for HANA System Replication, CloudEndure, and S3.
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of technology. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
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?
SAP HANA System Replication across regions.
HSR provides low RPO.
AWS CloudEndure Disaster Recovery.
CloudEndure can replicate EC2 instances with low RPO.
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for ongoing replication.
Why wrong: DMS does not support HANA as a source.
Amazon S3 Glacier for long-term backups.
Why wrong: Glacier retrieval times exceed 1 hour.
Amazon S3 for storing HANA log backups.
Logs can be used for point-in-time recovery.
Answer choices
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.
Option A is correct: HANA System Replication provides low RPO. Option C is correct: S3 can store backups for log replay. Option D is correct: CloudEndure Disaster Recovery can replicate entire servers. Option B is wrong because DMS doesn't support HANA. Option E is wrong because Glacier has retrieval times > 1 hour.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.
