Few general SQL and NetBackup questions....
Hope someone can answer several queries concerning NetBackup 7.0.1 and SQL Server 2000/2005/2008......
1. Does the NetBackup client provide hotbackups of the SQL databases? If so, is this a default option or does one require to configure the client to perform hotbackup. Are hotbackups also limited by SQL edition?
2. Are open SQL database files skipped during the backup process? Are special configuration needed to make this happen. or is it set to skip by default?
3. If there's a scheduled job (on let's say Windows 2003) to perform a daily database backup dump to binary file, and from binary file to tape (NetBackup), do timeframes of the jobs or sequences of NetBackup take this into account?
Appreciated, thanks!
