Netbackup SQL transaction log frequency

I am new to Netbackup so bare with me. I set up a policy to backup the transaction logs on our SQL database and noticed the smallest frequency is 1 hour. We cannot afford to loose 1 hour worth of transactions. Is there anyway to get backups more frequent than 1 hour beside using SQL agent?

    Not in the current version I am afraid - 1 hour is the least

    The only thing you could do is to fire your SQL Transaction log policy off via an alternate scheduler (windows etc.)
