Well I backup sql2005 as a cluster.
 
Agent is installed on 2 nodes, backup configured as a Virtual Name.
 
I basically followed the sql agent documentation and through trial and error
got it working, using Windows authentication (once the account was
configured within sql to allow backups to be done!).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Methods to Backup SQL 2005 mirror



Hi,

 

Is anyone out there using the NetBackup SQL agent to back up a SQL 2005
mirror (with witness server)?

 

I have been asked to test this and am unsure of the best way to proceed i.e.
do I need to install the agent on both servers (principal and mirror) and
back both up nightly or do I just back up the principal?

 

There appears to be little info in the documentation and my SQL knowledge is
limited so I'm unsure of the best way to proceed.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Steve.
