Hybrid Backup Recovery (HBR) is a fully managed online backup service that allows you to back up data to the cloud in an efficient, secure, and cost-effective way. HBR is compatible with SAP HANA 1.0 and 2.0. It can use the SAP HANA API to back up and restore data. You can install an Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) backup client for HBR to back up SAP HANA databases deployed on ECS instances and restore these databases as required.

Note HBR uses the Backint for SAP HANA API to back up and restore data. Backup data is not stored in files. HBR calls the Backint for SAP HANA API to directly read data from or write data to SAP HANA databases.
