You can restore SQL Server databases to the original location or:
• To another SQL Server system
• To another SQL Server instance
• Under different names
You can restore SPS index servers to the original location or:

This chapter provides information specific to the SPS integration. For general Data
Protector procedures and options, see online Help.

Integration concepts

Data Protector integrates with SPS Server through the Data Protector integration
agents (SPS and SQL agents), which channel communication between the Data
Protector Session Manager and the clients in the SPS farm.
Whether your SPS environment consists of a single server system or multiple server
systems (small, medium, or large farm), the architecture of the integration is basically
the same.
Figure 18 on page 71 shows the architecture of the Data Protector integration with
a SPS medium server farm.

Backs up only changes made to the selected SQL Server databases
since the last full backup. Other selected SPS objects are backed up
completely.
Before you run a differential backup, ensure that a full backup exists.
Otherwise, a restore from such a differential backup session fails.
