Enabling log encryption for SAP HANA data
The SAP HANA log backups cannot be protected with the IBM Storage® Protect Plus transport encryption feature. To protect the SAP HANA log backup data, you must enable SAP HANA backup encryption on the SAP HANA application server.
Before you begin
If you are enabling the SAP HANA log backup
encryption, you must read the following documentation and ensure that the requirements are met:
- The SAP HANA documentation provides
information about considerations for backup encryption. For more information, see Points to Note: SAP HANA Backup Encryption.Note: If backup encryption is enabled, the database administrator must ensure that the backup encryption root keys are backed up.
- The SAP HANA documentation provides information about the prerequisites and root key handling. For more information, see Prerequisites: Recovering an Encrypted SAP HANA Database.
About this task
You can enable log backup encryption on the SAP HANA applications server. To enable log backup encryption, refer to Enable and Disable Encryption of Data and Log Backups. You can also enable the backup encryption by using SAP HANA Cockpit. For more information, see Enable Encryption of Data and Log Backups using Cockpit.
