Why CertiHANA
Replace the scripts, cron jobs and spreadsheets that keep your HANA systems alive
Most SAP HANA landscapes are protected by a patchwork of hand-written backup scripts and manual checks. CertiHANA puts every operation behind one role-secured web console, with schedules, retries, notifications and an audit trail.
Proven recoverability
Every backup is verified with the SAP tools, the recovery chain is validated daily, and a test restore into a sandbox tenant can run unattended every quarter.
Predictable operations
SAP-recommended backup and housekeeping schedules applied in one click, with retries, dependencies, maintenance windows and notifications to e-mail, Teams or Slack.
Compliance evidence
RPO compliance checks, health scores with history, daily HTML reports and a fleet-wide backup status that auditors and management can read.
What it does
The complete operations suite for SAP HANA
Nine modules, one console, one audit trail. Every capability is available in every edition.
Backup management
Full, differential and incremental backups to file or Backint, catalog browser, log backup monitoring, size estimation, snapshot integration, verification with hdbbackupcheck and hdbbackupdiag.
Learn more →Full backup with cleanup New
One scheduled task runs the complete backup and, only after it succeeded, deletes every older data and log backup from catalog and storage. A failed backup deletes nothing.
Learn more →Retention policies
Keep N fulls, days, grandfather-father-son generations and a minimum number of fulls. Preview what will be deleted and how much space is freed before anything happens.
Learn more →Offsite and cloud copies
A second copy of every backup file on SMB, SFTP, S3, Azure, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox or any rclone provider, with its own retention, verification and AES-256 encryption.
Learn more →Recovery planner and test restores
Turn a point in time into the exact RECOVER statements and a runbook in seconds. Prove recoverability with an automated restore into a sandbox tenant.
Learn more →Housekeeping and maintenance
Every SAP-recommended housekeeping operation as a task: log reclaim, defragmentation, delta merges, trace cleanup, alert and statistics history, consistency checks.
Learn more →Monitoring and health
Fleet and system dashboards, about 55 rule-based checks with a score from 0 to 100, RPO compliance, Prometheus metrics for Grafana and a daily report by e-mail.
Learn more →Schema Manager
Company and schema lifecycle for SAP Business One: inventory and growth, export, clone, masked test refresh, archive and restore, comparison, DDL drift, integrity, access reports.
Learn more →Security and governance
Three roles, typed confirmations for high-risk operations, encrypted credential store, HTTPS, login lockout, self-service password reset and a complete audit trail.
Learn more →From backup to proof
Every step of the recovery chain, automated and verified
CertiHANA does not stop at the backup. It copies the files offsite, validates the redo-log continuity, applies retention on both sides and proves with a real restore that the chain works.
- Data backups
- Log backups
- Verification and offsite
How it works
Protected in an afternoon
CertiHANA is a single Windows installer. It runs as a Windows Service on any server that can reach the HANA SQL ports and needs no software inside HANA.
Install the service
Run the installer, set the administrator password, open the console over HTTPS. About ten minutes, no database downtime.
Register your HANA systems
Add SYSTEMDB and tenants with a technical HANA user. The connection test and compatibility check report every missing privilege; a grant script is included.
Apply the recommended schedule
One click applies SAP-recommended backup, log, retention, housekeeping and health jobs. Add an offsite target, and every backup gets its second copy.

- Multi-tenant fleet management with per-customer schedules and notifications
- Schema exports compressed to ZIP like the SAP Business One backup service
- Built-in masking rules for business partners, employees, users and marketing documents
- Business One guidance in the health check, checklists and recommended jobs
A production-to-test refresh, scheduled
1. drop test company SBO_TEST
2. clone SBO_PROD → SBO_TEST (IGNORE EXISTING)
3. mask personal data: OCRD, OCPR, CRD1, OHEM, OUSR, …
4. register SBO_TEST in SLD · verify row counts
5. notify #sap-basis · audit trail entryKeys stay intact, so the test company stays consistent. Production systems require an explicit override.
Licensing
Licensed per SAP HANA system. Every feature in every edition.
A licence covers a number of HANA databases on one CertiHANA server. Standard, Professional and Enterprise differ in the support agreement and the number of systems, never in capability.
