-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.
+[Azure Center for SAP solutions](overview.md) lets you manage SAP workloads on Azure through a Virtual Instance for SAP solutions (VIS) resource. Protecting your SAP system requires configuring and monitoring backups for Central Services instances, application servers, database virtual machines, and HANA databases. This process can involve multiple separate steps.
 
-When you configure Azure Backup from the VIS resource, you can enable Backup for your SAP Central Services instance, Application server and Database virtual machines and HANA Database in one step. For the 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).
+This article shows you how to configure Azure Backup and monitor backup status for your entire SAP system from the VIS resource in a single workflow. If backup is already configured from Azure Backup Center, the VIS resource automatically detects the existing configuration and shows backup job status.
 
-Once backup is configured, you can monitor the status of your Backup Jobs for both virtual machines and HANA DB from the VIS.
-
-If you have already configured Backup from Azure Backup Center for your SAP VMs and HANA DB, then VIS resource automatically detects this and enables you to monitor the status of Backup jobs.
+> [!NOTE]
+> Configuration of backups from a VIS is currently in preview.
 
 ## Prerequisites
-- A Virtual Instance for SAP solutions (VIS) resource representing your SAP system on Azure Center for SAP solutions.
-- An Azure account with **Backup Contributor** and **Virtual Machine Contributor** role access on the Subscription in which your SAP system exists.
 
-- 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 a **highly available(HA)** HANA database, the Userstore key should be created in both **Primary** and **Secondary** databases.

-> If you are configuring backup for HANA database from the Virtual Instance for SAP solutions resource, you can skip running the [Backup pre-registration script](/azure/backup/tutorial-backup-sap-hana-db#what-the-pre-registration-script-does). Azure Center for SAP solutions runs this script before configuring HANA backup.

-## Configure Backup for your SAP system
-You can configure Backup for your Central service, Application server and Database virtual machines and HANA database from the Virtual Instance for SAP solutions resource following these steps:
+## Configure backup for your SAP system
+
+To configure backup for your Central Services instance, application server, database virtual machines, and HANA database from the VIS resource, follow these steps:
 
 1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
-2. Search for **ACSS** and select **Azure Center for SAP solutions** from search results.
-3. On the left navigation, select **Virtual Instance for SAP solutions**.
-4. Select the **Backup (preview)** tab on the left navigation.
-5. Select **Configure** button on the Backup (preview) page.
-7. Select the checkboxes **Central service + App server VMs Backup** and **Database Backup**.
-8. For **Central service + App server VMs Backup**, select an existing Recovery Services vault or **Create new**.
-   - Select a Backup policy that is to be used for backing up Central service, App server and Database VMs.
-   - Select **Include database servers for virtual machine backup** if you want to have Azure VM backup configured for database VMs. If this is not selected, only Central service and App server VMs will have VM backup configured.
-        - If you choose to include database VMs for backup, then you can decide if all disks associated to the VM must be backed up or **OS disk only**. 
-9. For Database Backup, select an existing Recovery Services vault or Create new.
-   - Select a Backup policy that is to be used for backing up HANA database.
-10. Provide a **HANA DB User Store** key name.
-    > [!IMPORTANT]
-    > If you are configuring backup for a HSR enabled HANA database, then you must ensure the HANA DB user store key is available on both primary and secondary databases. 
-11. If SSL enforce is enabled for the HANA database, provide the key store, trust store path and SSL hostname and crypto provider details.
