Question about backing up sharepoint 2007 with NMM 2.2
Hi Everyone,
I need to backup our sharepoint server with NMM 2.2
Our sharepoint configuration is oretty simple. We have only 1 sharepoint application server that host all the sharepoint services and a SQL 2005 that host all the database instances
I went through the NMM installation and admin guide and follow the instructions.
I created my snapshot policy & my client configuration.
After I started the backup I get this in the nmm.raw file:

What does this means ? I have a savegrp to save my database saveset and another savegroup to save my sharepoint saveset. And I have those two savegroup run at a different tiime.
Is it telling me that I can't so that? that I need to combine the two savegroup to make it only one savegroup with both the database and sharepoint saveset together ?
If someone have already went through this please advise
First of all what your output displays are not severe errors but warnings
--->. NOTE:
NMM is designed to to help take point in time backups for disaster recovery of Microsoft Applications using VSS technology. To ensure that the data is backed up in timely manner all components must be backed up at relatively the same time.
With respect to Sharepoint, those components are Front end web servers, SQL Servers Sharepoint Search servers <--- you might not have a separate search server)
NMM therefore is designed to be aware -- due to VSS writer capability -- and to warn you to backup all components

--->>> Best practice is
se one group resource for NMM clients related to Sharepoint that means add the two clients in this group
1. the sharepoint client -- appears to be called "sharepoint" 2. the SQL server client --
remember that all the content is stored in SQL databases so SQL Server backup is critical
---> NOTE: Incremental snapshot backups of Sharepoint are not supported Make sure to change the group properties in Client Overrides section so that group level is always "Full"
