We do it here, but for the record, this failed for MONTHS!! so, that is not my best option, but I intend to have a DB Backup Plan as well as the online agent.

 

I dont normally give up, so will keep trying!!

Use SQL Server's built in functionality to write backups to disk and then pickup those files with file level backups.  Unless you have a LARGE and UNWIELDY SQL Database that's your best option (and it saves you the SQL Database Client to boot!)  Ok, that's just the way we do it here.  But we do use it for everything from Voicemail to SMS, Antivirus to Reports and it does the job even for our largest SQL Databases.  (<200GB.)  Everything larger than that is in Oracle.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] SQL Backups Status 2

Hi all

Win2k3 NBU 5.1 MP2

Need to implement SQL Backups online. got a license key, and applied that.

 

I am reading through the manual, and starting to think this looks harder than it shoudl be!

 

I have an SMS Server (systems management) that runs SQL 2000 and I need to do an online backup.

 

Anyone experience in using SQL_Backups and offer some hints and tips?

 

Tried a test and got a status 2, so I know I am not off to a good start!

 

Thanks
