• Do not mount another volume in a directory on the volume to be backed up. If another volume is
mounted, mounting and restoration for the secondary volume might fail.
• If you change the settings of the following files, use the Services pane in the Windows to restart
the Protection Manager service:
• Application Agent configuration definition file (
init.conf )
• RAID Manager-linkage definition file ( DEFAULT.dat )
• If Veritas Snapshot Provider is installed on the database server or backup server where a VSS
backup will be performed, make sure you use version Veritas Snapshot Provider 1.04 or later.
If a VSS backup is executed using version Veritas Snapshot Provider 1.03 or earlier, the volume
to be backed up might be left with
Read-Only and Hidden attributes. If this happens, the drive
will not be allocated at system startup.
If this occurs, release these attributes as described in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 840781.
• If a system failure or other problem causes a VSS backup to be interrupted, the volume that is the
target of the backup might be left with the
Read-Only
and
Hidden
attributes. If these attributes
remain, the drive will not be allocated at system startup. If this occurs, release the attributes as per
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 840781.
• File systems on a dynamic disk cannot be backed up.
System configurations for backing up SQL Server databases
This section describes system configurations in which Application Agent is used to back up an SQL
Server database.
Configurations for restoring an SQL Server database to a host that is not the
original host
When the backup is of an SQL Server database, data on a host that differs from the host used for
backup can be restored. To restore data by using Application Agent on a host that differs from the
host used for backup, the system needs two servers: database server 1 for backup, and database
server 2 for restoration. Operations are usually performed on database server 1, but when an error
occurs on database server 1, the operations are switched to database server 2.
In this configuration, install Application Agent both in database server 1 and in database server 2.
Execute backup commands on database server 1, and restoration commands on database server 2,
respectively.
The following is an example of a system configured to restore data on a host that differs from the host
used for backup.
