Configuration requirements for SQL Server snapshot and Instant Recovery backups
Review the following requirements before you configure NetBackup for SQL Server with snapshot backups:
See the NetBackup Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide for details on the hardware requirements and software requirements for the snapshot method that you want to use.
Go to the Veritas Support website for details on the snapshot methods and platforms that are supported for NetBackup for SQL Server.
The volumes which contains the SQL Server databases and log files should be dedicated to SQL Server only. Other types of databases (e.g., Exchange) should not reside on the volumes.
NetBackup Snapshot Client is installed and configured correctly and you have a the license for this option. See the NetBackup Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide for details.
Only one snapshot method can be configured per policy. If you want to use a different snapshot method different clients, then create a separate policy for each group of clients and the snapshot method you want to use. Then select one method for each policy.
NetBackup does not support Instant Recovery with availability groups.
