AWS Backup announces PrivateLink support for SAP HANA on AWS

AWS Backup now supports AWS PrivateLink for SAP HANA systems running on Amazon EC2\. This enables customers to route all backup traffic through private network connections without traversing the public internet, helping organizations meet security and compliance requirements for regulated workloads. Customers in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and government agencies often require that all traffic remain on private networks. Previously, while SAP HANA application workloads could use AWS PrivateLink for secure, private communication with AWS services, backup traffic to AWS Backup had to traverse public endpoints. With this release, you can now use AWS PrivateLink for AWS Backup storage endpoints, ensuring your SAP HANA workloads on EC2 maintain end-to-end private connectivity for both application traffic and backup data. This helps organizations subject to HIPAA, EU/US Privacy Shield, and PCI DSS regulations implement fully private data protection strategies. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Backup supports SAP HANA databases on EC2\. To get started, [update your Backint agent](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sap/latest/sap-hana/aws-backint-agent-backup.html#backint-backup-install) and [add the backup-storage VPCE to your VPC](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-backup/latest/devguide/backup-network.html).
