Microsoft SQL plug-in
You can configure the NetBackup Snapshot Manager plug-in for Microsoft SQL to discover SQL application instances and databases and protect them using disk-level snapshots. After you configure the plug-in, NetBackup Snapshot Manager automatically discovers all the file system assets, SQL instances and databases that are configured on the SQL server host. The discovered SQL assets then appear in the NetBackup user interface (UI) from where you can protect the assets by subscribing them to a protection plan or by taking snapshots manually.
