Backup strategy for Hana database

Hi all,

I am new to Hana and our company is planning a Hana project.

I am the dba for this project.

I have a few questions about backup strategy in Hana env.

1. storage snaphost

In our current oracle env, we do a bcv copy at storage level (snapshot), before we do this, we put the db in hot backup mode, In Hana,   can we still use the same strategy?

Based on my current understanding of Hana, every 5-min it flush the memory to the disk which is a consistent image.

So ,we just need to do a snapshot for storage ( without  doing anything like put db in hot backup mode as we did  in oracle env)? Am I right?

1. the db-level backup

we plan to backup the db first to the local file system and keep the copy there for 1 or 2 weeks and then move the tape.

Our production  environment will be a 4-node cluster environment.

The non-prod will be single node.

is there anything different between single node and cluster env in terms of backup/recover ?

Thanks,

Lily
