# Quickstart: Restore the entire SAP HANA database to a snapshot restore point
This quickstart describes how to restore the entire SAP HANA to a snapshot restore point using the Azure portal.
Azure Backup now allows you to restore the SAP HANA snapshot and storage snapshot as disks by selecting Attach and then mount them to the target machine.
>[!Note]
>Currently, Azure Backup doesn't automatically restore the HANA system to the required point.
For more information about the supported configurations and scenarios, see [SAP HANA backup support matrix](sap-hana-backup-support-matrix.md).
## Prerequisites
Before you start restoring the database, consider the following prerequisites:
- Ensure that you have the backup configured and have the recovery points created to do restore. Learn more about the [configuration of backup for HANA database instance snapshots on Azure VM](sap-hana-database-instances-backup.md).
- Ensure that you have the [required permissions for the snapshot restore](sap-hana-database-instances-restore.md#permissions-required-for-the-snapshot-restore).
