Even if this worked, I wouldn't trust it on something as serious as a database. What happens when it doesn't work and you can't get support from anyone?
Until you can upgrade, would you be able to dump the database to a flat file on disk with a Maintenance Job or some third party SQL backup app (Litespeed, etc.) and then have NBU pick up the dump as a normal file?

[Veritas-bu] Backing up MSSQL2008





Hi all,
 
I have been tasked with backing up a SQL clustered environment running MSSQL2008. I realise that this version of SQL is not officially supported by Symantec till v6.5.3 but unfortunately I am not in a position to upgrade my current environment (running v5.1MP7) till early next year.
 
Therefore has anyone managed to backup and restore a MSSQL2008 environment using the DB agent running NetBackup 5.1?
 
If so; are there any gotcha’s I should be aware of?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Steve.
