We have just installed the free Sharepoint Services and I'd like to know if we can do a full backup with Backup Exec v9.1 (with SQL Agent)?

Is there any problems that might arise?

THANKS
 
Hello,

I know that Veritas has a special SharePoint agent, but you should be able to backup your SQL databases without it. I am not even using the SQL agent, I am just using maintenance plans in SQL and then our veritas software does file backups.

For doing site backup I am using the built in stsadm.exe tool (just doing SQL backups is not enough if you want to restore a site). Check the Windows SharePoint Services Administrators guide from Microsoft, there you will have an instruction on how to use the stsadm.exe tool.

Cheers,
Thomas
