    There is no direct MySQL agent in NetBackup

    There are options that may help you ...

    If it is Enterprise MySQL then they claim that this can interface with NetBackup:

    http://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/white-papers/mysql-enterprise-backup-and-symantec-netbackup/

    As it is on Windows 8 it sounds like you are not using the Enterprise Verison so inthat case you have 3 other options:

    1. Use bpstart_notify.bat to shut down mysql and back it up off line

    2. Use its own maintenance schedule or a script to dump its databases to disk and then back those up using NetBackup

    3. Check out Zmanda - thier special agent is supported for use with NetBackup (http://www.zmanda.com)

    Hope this helps
