We can now seamlessly backup and restore SAP HANA databases running on Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines (VM), Important is M series Virtual Machine is also supported, and leverage enterprise management capabilities that Azure Backup provides.
- 15-minute Recovery Point Objective (RPO): Recovery of critical data of up to 15 minutes is possible.
- One-click, point-in-time restores: Easy to restore production data on SAP HANA databases to alternate servers. Chaining of backups and catalogs to perform restores is all managed by Azure behind the scenes.
- Long-term retention: For rigorous compliance and audit needs, you can retain your backups for years, based on the retention duration, beyond which the recovery points will be pruned automatically by the built-in lifecycle management capability.

Azure Backup discovers all SAP HANA databases on the VM. During discovery, Azure Backup registers the VM with the vault, and installs an extension on the VM. No agent is installed on the database.
