Planning the installation of NetBackup for SQL Server

To use the new features that are included in NetBackup for SQL Server in NetBackup 10.2, upgrade your NetBackup for SQL Server clients to NetBackup 10.2. The NetBackup media server must use the same version as or a higher version than the NetBackup for SQL Server client.

Table: Installation steps for NetBackup for SQL Server shows the installation steps that are required to run NetBackup for SQL Server.

Table: Installation steps for NetBackup for SQL Server

Step

Action

Description

Step 1

Verify the operating system and platform compatibility.

See the NetBackup Compatibility Lists.

Step 2

Verify that primary server has a valid license for NetBackup for SQL Server and any NetBackup options or add-ons that you want to use.

See License for NetBackup for SQL Server.

Step 3

Install the NetBackup client software on the computers that have the databases that you want to back up.

See NetBackup server and client requirements.

Step 4

To protect a read-scale availability group, you must have the SQL Server Native Client version 11.0.7462 ODBC driver or later installed on the availability group replicas.

This version of the driver lets you discover and browse databases on a read-scale availability group.

Step 5

To use NetBackup for SQL Server in a NetBackup cluster, verify that your cluster environment is supported and that the NetBackup cluster is configured correctly.

See Requirements for using NetBackup for SQL Server in a NetBackup cluster .
