The Microsoft SQL Server policy classification defines which databases will be protected and with what impact to the differential base.
Adding the classification starts the Microsoft SQL Server Classification Wizard. Once the source Microsoft SQL node has been selected, databases can be added using the Microsoft SQL Server Database Selection Wizard.
The Backup mode selection defines if the snapshot or clone will be recognized as a full backup by the SQL Server or if it should just be a copy which does not affect the differential base. In both cases, Protector will protect the complete database as well as the current log files and will represent the database at the point in time of the snapshot or clone creation.
It is not possible to backup only the transaction logs. Use the “BACKUP LOG” SQL
command or a 3rd party tool to protect your transaction logs. Protector’s file
system backups can help to store the files safely in the datacenter or cloud.
Tip: Keep in mind Microsoft SQL Server requires that at least a single full backup
before transaction log backups can be performed.
