# Configuring Commvault for a SAP HANA Database Copy from SAP HANA Studio

You can perform a database copy to:

- Build a demonstration database from a production system

- Build a test database that tests the production database without affecting the production database

- Schedule a disaster recovery test

The destination SID can be different from the backup SID.

You can perform a database copy from the Commvault Cloud or the SAP HANA Studio.

Notes

You start the restore from the destination. You must use the SAP HANA source SID as the value for the Source System box on all of the SAP HANA Studio screens.

The SAP HANA software resets the backup catalog after you perform a database copy. You can only restore backup jobs that you take after you perform the database copy.

The SAP HANA software automatically places the destination database in the right state to perform a restore.

## Procedure

You must perform the following tasks before you perform a database copy from the SAP HANA Studio.

1. Verify that you have the correct version and service pack of the Commvault software and SAP HANA.

   For information on the system requirements, see System Requirements - SAP HANA iDataAgent.

2. On the destination client, set the srcCrossClient environmental variable in the SAP HANA BACKINT parameter file to the host where you performed the backup.
