Hi

Can anyone tell me if the NetBackup SQL agent supports database partitioning?

Many thanks

After looking into this, and getting more information from subject matter experts and Backline, it looks like NetBackup is not affected.  If your doing a backup with a standard SQL policy, NetBackup it is going to make an ODBC call to SQL to have it put the database in a sudo backup mode and create a database lock. 

Also partitioning is more for indexes and NetBackup doesn't back up the indexes as part of the backup.
