The document discusses how to safeguard SAP HANA systems using SUSE HA and NetApp data protection. It recommends combining SUSE HA for high availability with NetApp SnapCreator backups to provide fast, non-disruptive backups and recovery of SAP HANA. NetApp integrations with SAP LVM and disaster recovery capabilities allow using snapshots for system copies, testing, and disaster recovery while leveraging storage.
