That’s an
option and one that I’ve suggested but the customer was hoping for a ‘hot’
backup solution.
I am going to
try it and see what happens though I am not hopeful of it being successful.

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.
