How to Set Max Size of HANA DB Backup Files

You can specify the maximum size of service-specific data backup files. If a data backup exceeds the specified size, it is split across multiple files, to which the system writes sequentially. By default, data backups are not split across multiple files.

Launch the SAP HANA Studio and login to the SYSTEM database. Open the Backup Console and jump to Configuration tab.

Tick the Limit Maximum File Size box and from the field, you can specify the limit size in GB or TB. Example, if you set the limit to 100GB and your HANA database backup size is 1TB. It will split the database backup into 10 files, each 100GB.

HANA_Backup_Configuration

Alternatively, you can also set max file size in global.ini parameter data_backup_max_chunk_size.
