Overview of NetBackup for SQL Server

The NetBackup web UI provides the capability for backups and restores of SQL Server databases. You can perform the following operations:

  • View discovered instances, databases, or availability groups.

    Instances are automatically discovered in the NetBackup environment.

  • Back up SQL Server instances, databases, and availability groups.

    NetBackup offers the following types of SQL Server backup methods:

    • SQL Server Intelligent Policies (SIP)

      A single policy protects multiple SQL Server instances that are spread over multiple clients. You select instances for a policy from a list of instances that are automatically discovered in the NetBackup environment.

    • Protection plans

      A SQL Server administrator can select one or more protection plans that contain the wanted storage, backup, and tuning settings.

    • Policies, using clients and batch files

      These policies include a list of SQL Server database clients and a batch file. The batch file contains SQL Server backup commands to run when the backup is scheduled.

  • Restore the databases that are protected with protection plans or policies.

  • Monitor backup and restore operations.
