SQL /Exchg backups alongside files system backups on the same client (?)
One is backing up an SQL client for instance. So one is using MSSQL: in the save set field (all instances of mssql, right). I was told that you cannot use both MSSQL: (or MSEXCH:) and ALL save sets along side? What if one needs to back up other save sets on that same client machine ¿ file system save sets like directories and/or SYSTEM STATE:, SYSTEM DB:? Can I define those other file system save sets alongside with MSSQL: and MSEXCH:?
Thank you
Thank you

So keep them in different groups and different times especially if you want to backup SYSTEM save sets.

Thanks for the help. Indeed that is exactly what i have just researched. If bakcing up at the same time isnt a good idea it shouldnt be a problem for me to group them separetly and run them on separate schedules (should it?). However my initial confusion was becasue I did not realize that I could create multiple client resources for one phisycal client. How do I do that? I'm thinking create one with a different name and use use aliase(s)? Is that the correct way?
Thank you

So, create different client instances, one for SQL backups, another one for Exchange, and another one for FS. But some people here will tell you that's not a good idea to do all this backups at the same time.

ClientA
saveset: MSSQL:
schedule: day_full
ClientA
saveset: MSEXCH:
schedule: day_full
And so on. Then just set each client instance for a different group, and let them run at different times.

It is not recomended to do these backups at the same time from teh same client? .. or even from different clients.
For instance, my FS group starts at 1:00 and runs untill 5:00. The Exchange group is scheduled to start at 4:00. Thye will overlap and run at teh same time for an hour. And if it isint a good idea, how do I avoid it? Is there a method to Que the groups?

For the time being, let your groups run on the time you set and see how it goes.
