NetBackup™ for Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Guide

Add filegroups or files in an availability database to the backup selections list

This topic describes how to browse for filegroups or files, which are part of an availability group, that you want to add to the backup selections list.

To add filegroups or files in an availability group to the backup selections list

  1. On the Instances and databases tab, select Protect availability groups.
  2. Select Add.

    All availability groups that you registered are displayed.

  3. In the left pane, expand the node for the availability group that contains the databases that you want to protect.
  4. In the left pane, select a replica.
  5. In the right pane, select the check box next to each database that you want to add to the list.

    If you choose to select individual databases, you must manually add any new databases in your environment to a policy. In this case, NetBackup does not dynamically create a list of databases at run-time.

  6. Select the Select button.

    The objects you select in the backup selections list apply only to the availability groups or availability databases that you add to the list on the Instances and databases tab.

  7. On the Backup selections tab, select Filegroups or Files.
  8. Select Add.
  9. Select Browse.
  10. In the left pane, expand the availability group and select the replica.
  11. In the right pane select the filegroups or files.
  12. Select Add.
  13. To add the filegroups or files that you selected to the backup selections list, select Add.

    Note:

    When you add a filegroup or file to the backup selections list, NetBackup backs up that object for all databases in the policy that contain a filegroup or file with that name.
