VMware Policy with SQL awareness enabled, and SQL policy for Transaction logs

Hi,

I am just wondering if it is possible to configure a VMware policy with SQL aware enabled, and a SQL policy to pickup transaction logs every 1 hour.

For recovery I am thinking recover databases from a nightly full VMware backup (including SQL databases) and then roll forward to just before a corruption using the transaction logs.

Is this supported?

Thanks

Dan
