SAP HANA backups, natively.

A file-based data backup of the tenant, authenticated with an hdbuserstore key an administrator creates once — the password is never on the command line.

What Xtic runs

hdbsql BACKUP DATA
hdbsql -U XTICKEY -d SYSTEMDB "BACKUP DATA FOR HXE USING FILE ('xtic_<run>')"

Shown with placeholders. Credentials never appear on a command line: they reach the tool through the environment, a file descriptor or a short-lived file in memory.

Restore paths

  • Recovery follows SAP's runbook with the tenant stopped; Xtic provides the files and the runbook steps

Verification

hdbbackupcheck on every file. Every artifact is also hashed, and the stored copy is read back and compared before the run counts as verified.

Version rule

Per SAP's recovery rules.

Good to know

  • Backup only — restore and BACKINT are covered by a recipe and runbook
  • Licence and editions: Commercial SAP licence.
