Good Morning
I wonder if I can get some advice from some NBU SQL Experts here.

Situation: Win2k3 SP2 Master and Mutliple SAN Media Servers.
I have many VM Machines that are doing backups via the lan at this stage. VMCB will be looked into later this year.

Problem I am seeing: In particular, 2 clients have 500 SQL DB's on them and the behaviour of NetBackup seems to be:

1) A Schedule kicks off for SQL
2) Another job kicks in for the Default Application Backup and it backs up each single DB

Is there a way I can group ALL the DB's or maybe 5, 10 or so in one hit? Or is this behaviour I am seeing normal. It takes approx 5 hours for the backups of SQL to complete, and throughput is around 22 - 28mb/second. Some of the DB's are very small (several hundred MB and a couple are of several hundreg GB - Not good for LAN based I know, hence why I am looking into a Consolidated Backup solution later).

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Regards

Simon
