Symantec System Recovery - VSS - Pervasive SQL

[oscubed]

Has anyone used SSR (or BESR as it was formerly known) to backup Pervasive SQL databases and also SUCCESSFULLY RESTORED from a BEST backup.  Ultimately I'd like to have evidence that:

1) We can back them up.

2) Whether to use "full vSS" or not and if it makes any diffence (Pervasive doesn't appear to support VSS)

3) Whether a backupAgent backup is required first.

4) Confirmation that someone has restored either a backup agent database, or a live database, successfully - not just backed up but RESTORED.

thanks in advance,

Lee Drake.

1) Yes

2) Yes we use it per default, but

3) No

4) Yes, we use it as part of our desaster recovery process for our servers that also run a pervasive sql 2000 SP4 server.
