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
 

Regards
