1 Integrating Microsoft SQL
Server and Data Protector

Introduction

This chapter explains how to configure and use the Data Protector Microsoft SQL
Server integration. It describes the concepts and methods you need to understand to
back up and restore the Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Server) database objects.
Data Protector offers interactive and scheduled backups of the following types:
Table 3 SQL Server online backup types
Full database backup
Transaction log backup
Differential database backup
Data Protector offers different restore types, depending on your needs. You can select
point-in-time restore, full database restore, as well as restore your SQL Server data
to a new location, to another SQL Server, or another SQL Server instance. For detailed
information, see
This chapter provides information specific to this integration. For general Data Protector
procedures and options, see the online Help.
Includes all data regardless of the changes made after the
last backup.
Uses fewer resources than database backups, so can be
created more frequently. By applying transaction log
backups, you can recover the database to a specific point
in time.
Records only changes made to the database since the last
full database backup. By creating differential backups more
frequently than full database backups, you can conserve the
media used for backup.
