Veritas Netbackup & MySQL DB
Dears,
We have veritas netbackup 6.5 and we need backup our DB MySQL. I have not seen MySQL DB in the policy section to generate the backup, just I found MS SQL Server & Oracle.
Could you...
List of NBU agents and options can be found here:

Unfortunately, as you can see - there is no NBU agent for MySQL.
You need to find the MySQL command to backup/dump the database to file. You can then use a normal filesystem backup to backup the output.
I have google'd 'How to backup MySQL' and it found ' about 3,300,000 results'. It might be better to narrow down the search to the O/S and MySQL version.
This one seems to be a good starting point for version 5.1:

There are also links on the left of the screen to other MySQL versions.
