New features and changes for NetBackup for Microsoft SQL Server

The following features are available in this release:

  • Ability to automatically assign credentials to newly discovered or unregistered instances based on the specified criteria. As part of the Credential Management System (CMS), this feature supersedes instance groups.

  • Discover SQL Server instances on demand.

  • Ability to automatically protect newly discovered instance databases based on the specified criteria in a SQL Server intelligent group.

Announcement of future changes:

  • In an upcoming release the use of the command nbsqladm will be disabled. The bp.conf entry ENABLE_NBSQLADM will be disabled by default and not allow any requests from nbsqladm. Administrators can enable the ENABLE_NBSQLADM option if they choose.

  • Instance groups will be removed from the NetBackup Administration Console and from policy configuration in the NetBackup web UI in a future release.
