All,
I am currently looking for info on backing up MS
SQL boxes and wondered if the agent actually does any type of snapshotting or
are there scripts that have to pause the database and then the backup
begins? We currently have local scripts in place that put the database in
a mainteneance mode and copies data to a data directory. Then the script
starts up the database and our Netbackup server comes in and does a regular
backup of the box, which includes the data directory. Why would I spend
money for an agent when we get backups with this method?

Harry,
The way to prevent NBU from
inventorying all media is to use Inventory Filtering. This was covered at the
end of the STK ACS appendix in the NBU 6.0 Media Manager Sys Admin Guide, and
this information was apparently rolled into Volume 1 of the NBU Sys Admin Guide
in NBU 6.5, but I can’t find it. So, depending on whether you are running
Windows or Unix, take a look at the end of that Appendix in the appropriate 6.0
Media Manager Sys Admin Guide.
Here is a link to the Windows
guide:

and a link to the UNIX
guide:
