Things to consider before you configure an instant access database

Note the following about the instant access SQL Server feature:

  • The Microsoft SQL Server backup with following backup options or scenarios does not support Microsoft SQL instant access:

    • Application Aware Backups (VMware)

    • Stream based Backups

    • NBU backup compression

    • Legacy SQL server backup (BCH backup)

    • File group or file backups

    • PFI backups (backup option: Retain snapshot for Instant Recovery or SLP management)

    • MSSQL DB Mirroring (only support is to create as a standalone IA DB)

    • MSSQL Cluster Setup (only support is to create as a standalone IA DB)

  • To ensure that instant access works effectively after the storage server and master server are upgraded from an earlier NetBackup version, restart NetBackup Web Service on the upgraded master server with the following commands:

    • /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbwmc stop

    • /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbwmc start
