Chapter 9

Backing Up Databases Using SnapManager

This section describes how to back up your SQL Server databases to SnapManager backup sets and how to verify databases stored in those backup sets. The following topics are covered:

• How SnapManager backup functions are accessed
• Creating a full database backup using SnapManager
• Creating a transaction log backup using SnapManager
• What to do if a SnapManager backup operation fails
• Performing database verification using SnapManager
• Using backup management groups in backup and verification
• Explicitly deleting backup Snapshot copies using SnapManager

Attention
You must run SnapManager from the system console, not from a Terminal Services client. Do not use Terminal Services for any type of SnapManager administration, because you might miss critical information that is displayed only in pop-up boxes at the system console.
