What must you do to configure data backup on a scale-out SAP HANA system?

To configure data backup effectively on a scale-out SAP HANA system, it is essential to verify that data and log backup destinations are valid throughout the system. This means that all nodes in the scale-out configuration must have consistent and accessible backup destinations to ensure that backups can be performed reliably across the distributed environment. Each component of the scale-out system must be configured correctly to point to the correct backup locations, as inconsistencies can lead to failed backups or incomplete data recovery scenarios.

Ensuring valid backup destinations contributes to data integrity and helps maintain business continuity by allowing quick and effective recovery in case of system failures. This verification is a fundamental step in the backup configuration process, as it ensures that all nodes can write backups without encountering permission issues or destination unavailability.

While aspects like local backup storage, network bandwidth, and enabling automatic backups may also be important in configuring a backup strategy, they do not directly address the requirement for consistent and valid backup destinations across all nodes in a scale-out scenario. Thus, focusing on the validation of backup destinations across the system is crucial for a successful backup configuration.
