 In this how-to guide, you'll learn to configure and monitor Azure Backup for your SAP system through the Virtual Instance for SAP solutions (VIS) resource in Azure Center for SAP solutions.
 
-When you configure Azure Backup from the VIS resource, you get to enable Backup for all your **Central service and Application server virtual machines** and **HANA Database** in one go. For HANA Database, Azure Center for SAP solutions automates the step of running the [Pre-Registration script](/azure/backup/tutorial-backup-sap-hana-db#what-the-pre-registration-script-does).

 - A Virtual Instance for SAP solutions (VIS) resource representing your SAP system on Azure Center for SAP solutions.
 - An Azure account with **Contributor** role access on the Subscription in which your SAP system exists.
-- Register **Microsoft.Features** Resource Provider on your subscription. 
-- Register your subscription for this preview feature in Azure Center for SAP solutions.
-- After you have successfully registered for the Preview feature, re-register **Microsoft.Workloads** resource provider on the Subscription.

+To be able to configure Backup from the VIS resource, assign the following roles to **Azure Workloads Connector Service** first-party app
   1. **Backup Contributor** role access on the Subscription or specific Resource group which has the Recovery services vault that will be used for Backup. 
   2. **Virtual Machine Contributor** role access on the Subscription or Resource groups which have the Compute resources of the SAP systems.

-  - Once you have completed configuring Backup from the VIS experience, it is recommended that you remove role access assigned to **Azure Workloads Connector Service** first-party app, as the access is no longer needed when monitoring backup status from VIS.

 - For HANA database backup, ensure the [prerequisites](/azure/backup/tutorial-backup-sap-hana-db#prerequisites) required by Azure Backup are in place.
-- For HANA database backup, create a HDB Userstore key that will be used for preparing HANA DB for configuring Backup. 
+- For HANA database backup, create a **HDB Userstore key** that will be used for preparing HANA DB for configuring Backup. For a **highly available(HA)** HANA database, the Userstore key should be created in both **Primary** and **Secondary** databases.

Azure Center for SAP solutions runs this script before configuring HANA backup.
 
-## Register for Backup integration preview feature
