 >[!Note]
 >- The restore process for HANA databases with HSR is the same as the restore process for HANA databases without HSR. As per SAP advisories, you can restore databases with HSR mode as *standalone* databases. If the target system has the HSR mode enabled, first disable the mode, and then restore the database. However, if you're restoring as files, disabling the HSR mode (breaking the HSR) isn't needed.
