About protecting an application database with VMware backups
With a VMware backup policy and the Veritas VSS provider, NetBackup can create consistent, full backups of an application database that resides on a virtual machine.
VMware application backups let you:
Use the existing database restore process to restore and recover data from VMware backups.
From one VMware backup, choose from these restore options: Disk-level restore, file-level recovery, database restore, or granular-level restore (GRT).
Restore and recover databases from VMware backups to alternate clients. The target destination client can be a physical computer or a virtual machine.
See the following information on virtual systems compatibility:
https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/NB_70_80_VE
See Installing the Veritas VSS provider for vSphere.
Select the policy option to use NetBackup Accelerator to potentially increase the speed of full VMware backups. (This option is not available in the settings for a protection plan.) By reducing the backup time, it is easier to perform the VMware backup within the backup window. To use this feature, you must first perform an initial backup with Use Accelerator enabled. Subsequent backup times can then be significantly reduced. Accelerator support for database agents currently restricts backups to the full schedule type.
To periodically establish a new baseline of change detection on the client, create a separate policy schedule with the option enabled.
For more details on Accelerator with VMware backups, see the NetBackup for VMware Administrator's Guide.
