SIMPLE BACKUP FOR THE SYSTEM DATABASE AND ALL TENANTS WITH ONE SINGLE BACKUP CALL:

https://documentation.suse.com/sbp/all/html/SLES4SAP-hana-sr-guide-costopt-15/index.html#id-1.9.6.3

~> hdbsql -u SYSTEM -d SYSTEMDB -i 10
"BACKUP DATA FOR FULL SYSTEM USING FILE ('backup')"

should be replaced by:
~> hdbsql -u SYSTEM -d SYSTEMDB -i <instanceNumber>
"BACKUP DATA FOR FULL SYSTEM USING FILE ('backup')"

??

Why should we remove the instance number ?? I use -i (here 10) since years successfully even in scripts. If you have an other instance number you need (of course) to adapt this instance number.

You schould not remove it. But you sould use the place holder <instanceNumber> as on other places. It is very confusing when sometimes a number stands there sometimes the placeholder.

For examle 3 lines later stands:
~> hdbsql -i <instanceNumber> -u <dbuser>
"BACKUP DATA USING FILE ('backup')"
