SQL 2012 backup options?

  • Currently using BackupExec 2010 to backup SQL 2000/2005 env't. Looking at adding a few SQL 2012 servers in the next few months. I'd prefer to let BE 2012 mature a little more prior to upgrading entire backup infrastructure to BE 2012. I was curious if anyone out there had any experience in backing up SQL 2012 using either SQL direct to tape or disk, or if there are any options as a stop-gap until we can get on Backup Exec 2012.

  • I've mostly used SQL and it works great on 2012. You can even use the Availability Groups to do log backups or COPY_ONLY backups in addition to the normal backup processes. What specifically are you worried about?
