About SQL Server Intelligent Policies

A SQL Server Intelligent Policy lets you create a single policy to protect multiple SQL Server instances or the databases in an instance. These instances can be spread over multiple clients. You can select SQL Server instances for a policy from a list of instances that are automatically discovered in the NetBackup environment.

The SQL Server Intelligent Policy includes the following criteria:

  • Storage unit and media to use

  • Policy attributes

  • Backup schedules: Full, differential-incremental, transaction log

  • The SQL Server objects to back up.

    Different policies are required to back up instances, instance groups, or availability groups. You cannot mix instances, instance groups, and availability groups (AGs). For example, if you create a policy with instances or databases and later select the Protect instance groups option, the instances or databases are deleted from the policy.

  • Backup selections: Whole database, filegroups, or files
