Which parameters must be configured in SAP HANA Studio as backint agent when configuring SAP HANA database with PowerProtect Data Manager?

Question

Options

• A/usr/sbin/hdbbackint
• B/opt/ppdmagent/dbappagent/bin/hdbbackint
• C/opt/dpsapps/dbappagent/bin/hdbbackint
• D/opt/dpsapps/dbasaphana/bin/hdbbackint

• A

• B

• C

• D

Explanation

When PowerProtect Data Manager (PPDM) installs its Database Application Agent on Linux, it places the hdbbackint binary under /opt/dpsapps/dbappagent/bin/hdbbackint - this is the documented, default installation path that must be entered as the backint agent parameter in SAP HANA Studio's backup configuration.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (/usr/sbin/hdbbackint) is a system binary path with no relation to PPDM's agent installation - it doesn't exist in a PPDM deployment.
• B (/opt/ppdmagent/...) uses a plausible-sounding but fabricated directory name; PPDM's agent does not install under ppdmagent.
• D (/opt/dpsapps/dbasaphana/...) has the correct base directory (/opt/dpsapps/) but uses the wrong subdirectory - dbasaphana is not a valid PPDM component folder; the correct one is dbappagent.

Memory tip: Break it down as dpsapps = Dell Protection Suite Apps (the vendor product family) and dbappagent = Database Application Agent (the specific component). If you remember those two folder names together, option C is the only one that matches both correctly.
