How do I backup a SAP CAL instance hosted on GCP?

[eric_ruider]

Hello,

when I click the backup option in our SAP CAL instance, the backup will always fail. I already did some research and apparently the storage size in GCP needs to be enlarged manually.

My question is now, which storage I need to enlarge. Is it the VM that hosts the HANA database? And if so, which volume/disk is it? Would be great if someone could provide a quick tutorial.

Thanks in advance

1. Create a snapshot of the VM instance hosting SAP CAL: In the Google Cloud Console, go to Compute Engine > VM Instances, select the instance, and click Create Snapshot.

2. Create a backup of the SAP CAL database: Log into the SAP CAL instance and use the backup utility to create a backup of the database.

3. Create a backup of the SAP CAL file system: Use the Google Cloud Console to create a snapshot of the persistent disk used by SAP CAL.

4. Create a backup of the SAP CAL configuration files: Use the Google Cloud Console to create a snapshot of the persistent disk used to store the SAP CAL configuration files.

5. Create a backup of the SAP CAL logs: Use the Google Cloud Console to create a snapshot of the persistent disk used to store the SAP CAL log files.

6. Store the backups in a safe location: Store the backups in a secure cloud storage bucket or on a separate on-premises storage system.

Hello Yogananda,

for bullet point 2: I just wrote in my first post that this feature does not work. Can you please provide steps to make it work? Thanks in advance
