Morning John You do need a SQL License on the Master, and the Policy must be a SQL application policy for the backup. Failing this, you can configure SQL Server to do "offline" backups to a flatfile on a local or Network drive. Then NetBackup treats it as a single file and backs the file up normally. Just bear in mind that there are some limitations on backups and recovery with NBU and SQL Server Express, one of them being partial backups not being fully supported, due to limitations in SQL Express. However, I do believe its covered in the SQL Admin Guide. It can also be found here if it helps... ftp://exftpp.symantec.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Serv er/290212.pdf Simon

I'm assuming that Veritas NBU 6.5.4 will not backup SQL Express. Would me my assumption be correct? Regards, John Keating Information Technology Tachi-S Engineering U.S.A. Inc.
