Hi,
Using NetBackup 7.6.0.1 and SQL 2008/2012, and ESXi 5.1.
I am trying to work out the best way to back up our SQL servers as we have moved to VMs. Traditionally we have used the MS-SQL policy type to back up databases, with local SQL agent jobs backing up transaction logs. Now we have introduced servers which also run applications as well as databases, so I have to capture the whole server. If I run an MS-SQL policy to capture databases, then run a VMware policy which will capture the entire machine, what is the effect on the database? I won't be using "Enable SQL Server Recovery" (option in VMware policy), so the database will be backed up with out file-level recovery in this policy as well. In particular, for databases which are in Full recovery mode, with local transaction log backups, will the two backups interfere with the point-in-time recovery of the databases?
Thanks.
