NetBackup for SharePoint

Licensing for Microsoft SharePoint is specific to the MS-SharePoint policy type. This type of licensing collects the total number of Front-End Terabytes (FETBs) protected by NetBackup.

The following Microsoft SharePoint query is used to gather file size information for each SQL databases representing the web application:

SELECT SUM (CAST (COALESCE(FILEPROPERTY(dbfile.name, 'SpaceUsed'),
dbfile.size) AS FLOAT(53))) / 128.0 AS FileSizeInMB
FROM sys.database_files AS dbfile
WHERE dbfile.drop_lsn IS NULL AND dbfile.type <> 1;

In an overlap scenario, where one policy protects Microsoft SharePoint Resources and another policy selects an individual web application (for example, WebApp1), nbdeployutil detects the overlapping selection and you are charged for Microsoft SharePoint Resources. If you add any additional data to the individual web application (WebApp1), it is updated in the usage report only after the next successful backup of the Microsoft SharePoint Resources.
