Question
You have two Azure virtual machines named VM1 and VM2. VM1 hosts a single container database (SDC) for SAP HANA instance named sd1. VM2 hosts an SDC HANA instance named sd2. Azure Backup is enabled for the HANA databases on VM1 and VM2. You need to restore sd1 to sd2 and overwrite the database instance on VM2. What should you do first in the Azure portal?
Options
- AFrom Restore Configuration, set Restored DB Name to sd1(sdc).
- BUpgrade sd2 to Multiple Container Database (MDC).
- CFrom Restore Configuration, set Restored DB Name to sd2(sdc).
- DRename the SystemDB database of sd2.

Explanation
When restoring sd1 to sd2 with the overwrite option in Azure Backup, you must configure the restore target correctly - and that means setting the Restored DB Name to sd2(sdc), which tells Azure Backup to target the existing database on VM2 and overwrite it. Azure identifies the destination by the name you specify here; without naming sd2(sdc), it cannot resolve which database to replace.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A - Setting the name to
sd1(sdc)points at the source, not the destination. Azure would attempt to restore to a database named sd1 on VM2 rather than overwriting sd2, which is not what the task requires. - B - Upgrading sd2 to MDC (Multiple Container Database) is irrelevant; both instances are SDC, and Azure Backup supports cross-VM SDC-to-SDC restores without an architecture change.
- D - Renaming sd2's SystemDB is not a prerequisite for an overwrite restore; Azure Backup handles the overwrite natively once the correct target name is specified.
Memory tip: Think "name the target, not the source." When overwriting, you're telling Azure where to write - so you always specify the destination database name (sd2) in Restore Configuration, not where the backup came from (sd1).
