Hi Guys, Do we require any special license for taking the MySQL backup in netbackup?

Did I ever link you to Zmanda's demo video for their agent? http://www.zmanda.com/demos/zmanda-mysql-agent-for-netbackup/

The 2010 forum post https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/veritas-netbackup-mysql-db is no longer relevant as support has in the meantime been added for MySQL.

See NetBackup 7 Application/Database Agent (CL): http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH126904

As per the CL, you need to contact Zmanda and purchase the agent directly from them.

Seems you don't need a NetBackup Application and Database Pack license, as it only covers agents for the following databases and applications:

Oracle

Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Active Directory

IBM DB2, IBM Lotus Notes

Informix

Sybase

Symantec Enterprise Vault

Alternative is mysqldump and backup the flat files with NetBackup policy type Standard - no agent needed.
