High Availability, Backup and Disaster Recovery for SAP Landscapes
Covers high availability and disaster recovery for SAP S/4HANA on SAP HANA: which failures each protects against, how SAP HANA system replication works (replication and operation modes, takeover), how to agree measurable recovery point and recovery time objectives with the business, and, critically, how to plan and run failover and restore tests and report the results so the business can sign off that recovery actually works, including what changes when SAP operates the landscape under RISE.
