We are using BE 2012 to back up several SQL 2008 servers running on Windows 2008 R2 VM's on Hyper-V. We use Hyper-V GRT Backup to do the backup, incremental every weekday and full every weekend. The BE-Agent is installed on the VM's and the SQL-Agent is licensed on the media-server.

Hello Sush..
According to the article, it is not possible to truncate SQL-logs with a GRT-backup.
But why is the BE 2012 Administrators guide saying that application logs will be truncated on VSS-aware applications in VM's on Hyper-V (page 807)?
Kind Regards

But I still do not understand why the BE 2012 Administrators guide is saying that application logs will be truncated on VSS-aware applications in VM's on Hyper-V (page 807)?
