Configure backups of a SQL Server cluster when you have multiple NICs (batch file-based policies)
This topic describes how to create a batch file-based 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 (batch file-based policies)
- Sign in to the primary server as a user that has the RBAC Administrator role or a role that can manage policies.
- On the left, select Protection > Policies.
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. - 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.
Add other policy information as follows:
Add schedules.
