Backup; Creating Backup Specifications - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

If -instance:instance_name is not specified, Data Protector returns configuration
for the default instance.

Backup

To run an online backup of an existing SQL Server backup specification:
• Schedule a backup using the Data Protector Scheduler.
• Start an interactive backup using the Data Protector GUI or CLI.
For information on starting interactive backups using the CLI, see the omnib man
page.
Limitations
• Backup preview is not supported.
Considerations
• A transaction log backup is not possible if the Recovery model option on SQL
Server is not set to Bulk-Logged or Full. In this case, Data Protector performs
a differential or full backup.
To configure a backup, create a Data Protector SQL Server backup specification.

Creating backup specifications

Create a backup specification, using the Data Protector Manager.
1. In the Context List, click Backup.
2. In the Scoping Pane, expand Backup Specifications, right-click MS SQL Server,
and click Add Backup.
