Thanks a lot but I still don't understand one thing...
Is AOFO feature checked works when BE process SQL backup using SQL Agent?
In my opinion 'yes, it works' but I don't understand dependiences. When I look at tha tape content (Restore function) I can find backups like on picture enclosed.
Both of these backup were made with SQL Agent, fist one with AOFO feature checked.
Do they differ?
...BE will use VSS anyway to back up a server, including DBs like Exchange & SQL...and believe me when I say this, when using AOFO I couldn't redirect a SQL restore...like I couldn't clear Exchange logs. YOu might not get the same issue, but you will end up with some sort of issue.
And if it's good enough to be documented by Symantec, it's good enough to be followed!
