  • I know there is a add-in that needs to be installed on the SQL Server that allows backup exec to connect to the DBMS. Should be supplied by Veritas, at a price of course.

    Don't use it either anymore. One victory!!!

    Hope this helps.

  • So, I get why you wouldn't want to use Backup Exec...

    What are you guys using now? Arcserve?

  • I use SQL backup to disk and then backup the SQL backup file to tape with Veritas. I just pass on the direct Veritas connector to SQL to perform the backup.

  • If you want to use the Backup Exec directly, you need the MS SQL Server Agent (version specific) from Veritas. This way you can choose to backup either the filegroups or the database directly. I use this for production but for test, I just have a plain remote agent, stop the database server, backup the data files and restart the server after the job.
