Tranzman UI provides a user friendly interface to browse the migrated images and restore data to the mounted NFS/CIFS share as per the Devices page. Click on Actions on sidebar and Select Restore. You should see the restore page with three sections.

• Images section for selecting the images to restore data from.
• Image Content section for browsing through the data in the selected images and select the contents you want to restore.
• Selection section for reviewing selected content for restore and run the restore for the selected.

So follow the below steps to perform the restore of SAP HANA Backups.

Step 1

Select the Policy, Client, Backup Time From, Backup Time To and hit on and you should see all the images in the time interval selected.

Note: Our SAP HANA Server is saphana2.localdomain. We are restoring a full backup from 2020-09-29.

Step 2

Select the image you want to restore the data from Images section.Browse through the data in that Image in Image Content section and select it to restore.

Note: The way SAP HANA does backups by default is it splits its data files during backup and create different images/sessions. Similarly when you will select an image for restore, all the images which should be part of the group will be selected automatically.

Step 3

From the Selection section on the webpage , select the Destination for the restore. This refers to the NFS/CIFS share mounted for restoring data under Devices .Then enter the path (name of folder) where you want the data to be restored and click on . This should trigger the restore and the Restore button should be greyed out.

Step 4

Once the Restore job is triggered successfully , you would see new jobs in Tasks under Views->Tasks on the sidebar. Additionaly there is another section under Views->Tasks named Restore logs (shown below) where user can check the restore status , and also re-run the restore with or without modifications for restore paths.

Step 5

When the restore is completed, copy the restored files from the share to the SAP HANA Server. Then login to the SAP HANA Studio.
