I will not consider exporting and importing data as a backup solution. You can either use a built in functionality in SQL server to backup the database to a file then use Netbackup to backup that file. You can use a combination of SQL agent in Veritas and SQL server backup utility. In this case, you will have two copies of the database in different format.

Daniel,

 

Our DBA's won't touch the Veritas solution for MS-SQL or Oracle. They are firm believers in exporting the database(s) to flat files and backing those up. Don't ask, I don't know why. Suffice to say they are the DBA's and we just do as we are told.

Hey guys

 

We are going to start backing up MS SQL 2005 and I would like to know the best ways to backup this type of database? Can anyone through their experiences give me their solution and why they felt it was the best way to do this? I know there is the Veritas way and that may be the best way of doing these backups but I would like to hear some alternative ways that may be better than using the Veritas solution, thanks.
