Which activity is part of recovering a tenant database backup from SAP HANA system 1 into SAP HANA system 2?

The activity of recovering a tenant database backup from SAP HANA system 1 into SAP HANA system 2 involves using the "Initialize Log Area" option. This option is essential because it prepares the target system to accept the incoming backup. When you recover a tenant, it's important to initialize the log area to ensure that the recovery process can properly manage the logs of transactions and apply the necessary changes that may have been captured in the backup from the source system. This step ensures a smooth and consistent recovery, allowing for a complete synchronization of the database state as it existed at the time of the backup.

The other options do not align with the required steps for a successful tenant recovery process. Copying only schema definitions would leave out the essential data and transactional logs needed for a complete recovery. Deleting previous backups is not a standard practice in recovery processes, as it may lead to the loss of critical recovery points. Uninstalling SAP HANA system 1 is unnecessary and could disrupt ongoing operations in that environment, making it counterproductive in a backup recovery scenario.
