About registering SQL Server instances and availability replicas
All instances and availability group replicas that you want protected as part of a SQL Server Intelligent Policy must be registered with credentials. These credentials must have certain privileges.
See About SQL Server credentials.
Instances or replicas can be registered in one of the following ways:
Manually, for individual instances or replicas.
See Registering a SQL Server instance or availability replica.
Manually, by adding instances or replicas to an instance group.
See Registering instances or availability replicas with an instance group.
Automatically, by configuring an instance group to automatically register newly discovered instances or replicas.
See Registering instances or availability replicas automatically.
Manually, with the nbsqladm command.
The NetBackup administrator can also authorize a DBA to manually register instances or replicas.
See Authorizing a DBA to register instances or availability replicas with the nbsqladm command.
