Protecting SQL Server

CDP Enterprise and Advanced Editions allow you to protect SQL Server installed on the Agent machine. This function allows you to take a snapshot. Since CDP uses the VSS Exchange writer, it ensures data integrity and consistency during the backup operation.

A list of supported editions can be found in [System Requirements - CDP for Databases].

To protect MS Exchange, enable the Databases Add-on on the Agent. See [Enabling Databases Add-On for Agent].

The following CDP interface elements help you protect your SQL Server:

* The "SQL" tab in the Policy window
* The "SQL" tab in the "Task History"
* The "SQL" action in the "Recovery Points" list


Here is a collection of pages devoted to protecting MS SQL databases.
