Configuring backups of a SQL Server cluster when you have multiple NICs (legacy SQL Server policies)
This topic describes how to create a legacy SQL Server backup policy to protect a SQL Server cluster with a multi-NIC. When you create the backup policy, it must include a client that has the private interface name of the virtual SQL Server. The public name of the host should not be used.
To configure backups of a SQL Server when you have multiple NICs (legacy backup policies)
- Open the NetBackup Administration Console.
- Create a new policy or open an existing policy.
- On the Clients tab, add a new client.
For the client name, use the private interface name of the virtual SQL Server. For example,
virtsql-NB. Add other policy information as follows:
Add schedules.
Create a batch file that includes the private interface name of the virtual SQL Server. Then add this batch file to the backup selections list.
