NetBackup™ Web UI Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Guide

Things to consider before you configure an instant access database

Note the following about the instant access SQL Server feature:

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

    • Application-aware backups (VMware)

    • Stream-based backups

    • NetBackup backup compression

    • Legacy SQL Server backups (with batch files)

    • File group or file backups

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

    • SQL Server database mirroring (only support is to create as a standalone IA database)

    • SQL Server clusters (only support is to create as a standalone IA database)

  • Instant access does not support a restore of a filestream database. Restore the entire VM without instant access. Or restore the database without instant access. For details see the following article:

    https://www.veritas.com/docs/100048546

  • For instant access to work after an upgrade of the storage and the master server 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
