PowerProtect Database Application Agent 19.13 Installation and Administration Guide
Database application agent features specific to Microsoft SQL
The database application agent supports the backups and restores of Microsoft SQL database data to and from a DD Boost device through the Orchestrated Application Protection feature.
The database application agent program ddbmoappbackup works with the Microsoft SQL utility sqlcmd to perform the database backups. Microsoft SQL supports full, differential, and incremental backups using the sqlcmd utility.
The database application agent program ddbmoapprecover retrieves the Microsoft SQL database backup into a user-specified directory. The directory does not initially exist on the file system, and the program creates the directory. After you run the ddbmoapprecover program to retrieve the required data and log files, run the required sqlcmd utility to complete the restore or recovery of the data backup.
