Use Staging Disk Granularity as Minimum Staging Disk Size	For applications that are under the size of granularity setting that tend to periodically grow this option is useful to avoid frequent costly FULL backups. Because the staging disk is thin provisioned, there is no initial cost to use a staging disk that is larger than required for immediate use. The values are 0 for No and the Staging Disk Granularity setting for Yes.

Database Filesystem Staging Disk Size in GB	Not applicable	Use the default calculation: (database size * 1.5)+ 10%. The disks will grow dynamically.
Log Backup Staging Disk Size in GB	By default Backup and DR calculates this as daily log generation * retention of log backup plan plus 20% buffer. Default is recommended. Providing a value will override the default calculation and the log disk won't grow dynamically. This will become a fixed size.

Retention of Production Catalog in Days	Retention of catalog logs in days.	Not applicable
Tenant DB User Store Key Prefix	HANA user store key prefix to backup tenant database. During the backup Tenant database name will be appended to the string provided. For example, if Prefix is provided as ACTBACKUP and tenant name is CL5, then userstore key for tenant will be ACTBACKUPCL5.	HANA user store key prefix to backup tenant database.

Run Tenant Backups in Parallel	Not applicable.	If set to Yes, all tenant databases will be backed up in parallel for backups using file system, non-backint.
