Selecting the SQL Server host and instance (SQL Server backups with legacy backup policies)
Use this procedure to set which SQL Server host and the instance that you want the NetBackup MS SQL Client to access. The user ID and password are only required if the host uses standard or mixed security. If applicable, you only need to provide these credentials when you first open the NetBackup MS SQL Client.
To select the SQL Server host and instance
- Open the NetBackup MS SQL Client.
- Select File > Set SQL Server connection properties.
- In the SQL Server connection properties dialog box, from the Host drop-down list, select the SQL Server host.
You can type a host name if it does not appear in the drop-down list. If you select a remote host and click Apply, the Host type is shown as "remote".
- From the Instance drop-down list, select the SQL Server instance.
You can type an instance name if it does not appear in the drop-down list. You can designate the default instance either by setting the Instance box to <default> or to empty (no spaces).
- Click Apply to save your changes.
- Click Close.
