Hywel,
Just curious, why do you state "it's a good idea" not to use AOFO for SQL backups?
Thanks, Jack
From the Administrator's Guide:
Symantec recommends that SQL backup jobs be run separately from AOFO or ADBO
backup jobs because SQL backups made with snapshot technology are considerably
bigger than regular SQL backups.
I have also found that not using AOFO wherever possible makes things simpler and less problematic.
AOFO is not reccommended for use with Exchange, as it restricts how you can restore, and that limitation makes me feel a bit uneasy about using it for any database agent.
