Hi Chris
I
may need to chat to you about the logs, because I do backup and truncate logs
once a day - I guess it depends on the business and their expectations on
"restore" or DR if something goes wrong.
Like you, not had any problems with it, and if you have the chance
and time to do it, I would say go for it.
Heck.... trial it and still do disk backups via SQL (using the
built in SQL tool) at the same time until the DBA is happy with the online
backups.

Hey Daniel,
I have been at different companies and have done MS SQL Backups
to tape through NBU and I would highly recommend it. I have found it
much faster than backing up files from disk. I currently would recommend
using a combination of Full, Differential, and Log backups on DB's that are in
full recovery mode. You can skip the Diff backups on smaller DB's and
just do Fulls daily. I think log backups every hour has been a standard
at most of the companies I have worked for.
