Veritas NetBackup™ for Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Guide

Registering instances or availability replicas automatically

With automatic registration, NetBackup adds newly discovered instances or availability replicas to the instance group that you choose and automatically registers them with group credentials.. Only one instance group can be configured for automatic registration.

Note:

Any instances or replicas that were discovered before this instance group was created are not automatically added to the group.

To register instances or availability replicas automatically

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand NetBackup Management > Applications.
  2. If necessary, create an instance group.
  3. Click Microsoft SQL Server and choose Actions > Auto Registration.
  4. Select Automatically register newly discovered instances.
  5. From the Instance Group list, select the instance group to which you want to add newly discovered instances or replicas.
  6. Click OK.

    To validate the credentials for the instances or replicas in the group, see the following topic.

    See Validating instance group credentials.
