Backing Up EV 10.0.3 with Netbackup 6.5.6

[wandarah]

Howdy, 

Might have to shoot over to the Netbackup forums for this. 

I know the EV agent for Netbackup is listed as 'Pending' in the compatibility guide, and during install the deployment scanner advised that I might want to look at updating that there agent if I was planning on using the agent to backup EV with Netbackup, unfortunately in this environment that's just not possible. 

We've got a number of solutions to this, but ideally we'd like to use Netbackup to perform EV backups. So, my question is - outside of using the EV agent, is there any issue using Netbackup 6.5.6 to perform standard backups of EV data and Indexes as they exist in 10.0.3?

Much obliged.

Nope, there isn't an issue doing the backup without the agent.  Just create the backup scripts and plan out getting sql, storage, and indexes backedup at the same time and you will be good to go.

Cheers,
