3498631 - HANA Backup Fails With Disk Full Error When Overriting Existing Backups

You are trying to perform a HANA database backup to your backup destination with same backup prefix (i.e., same backup file name) to overwrite the exiting (previous) backup files. And the backup fails with similar error below:

Could not back up database <tenant>@<SID>
backup could not be completed, Generic stream error: $msg$ - , 
rc=$sysrc$: $sysmsg$. Failed to process item 0x00007f32a8000000 -
