About batch file-based policies for SQL Server backups

A batch file-based policy includes a list of SQL Server database clients and a batch file that contains SQL Server backup commands. When a backup is scheduled, NetBackup runs the commands in the batch file for each client in the policy. You create the batch file through the NetBackup MS SQL Client interface, which saves the options you select to a batch file. Or you can create this batch file manually.

The batch file-based policy includes the following criteria:

  • Storage unit and media to use

  • Policy attributes

  • Backup schedules: Automatic schedule (called Full Backup) and application schedule

  • Clients to be backed up

  • Backup batch files to be run on the clients
