Once you confirm that these nodes are in a replication group (using the [pre-registration script](sap-hana-database-with-hana-system-replication-backup.md#run-the-preregistration-script)), Azure Backup groups the nodes logically, and creates a single backup item during protection configuration.

 Azure Backup now supports backing up databases that have HSR enabled. This means that backups are managed automatically when a failover occurs, which eliminates the necessity for manual intervention. Backup also offers immediate protection with no remedial full backups, so you can protect HANA instances or HSR setup nodes as a single HSR container.

 Azure Backup allows you to replicate your backups to an additional Azure paired region by using Geo-redundant Storage (GRS) to protect your backups from regional outages. When you enable the backups with GRS, the backups in the secondary region become accessible only when Microsoft declares an outage in the primary region.
