Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Use both the NMM and the NetWorker software to protect Microsoft server applications, such as Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Hyper-V, and Microsoft SharePoint. The NMM software protects the application data, such as databases and log files and the NetWorker client software protects the user data and critical disks on the host, for the purposes of Windows BMR.

Below is a high level overview of NetWorker and NMM backup and recovery workflow for Microsoft server applications:

1. Use NetWorker to back up critical and non-critical disks as part of a regular file system backup.
2. Use NMM to back up application data, such as Microsoft SQL Server.
3. Use NetWorker to perform a Windows BMR backup of the critical volumes on the host.
4. Use the Windows BMR boot image to perform a BMR recovery.
5. Use the NetWorker User application to recover any non-critical disks.
6. Use NMM to recover the application data.

The NetWorker Module documentation provides more information about recovering application data.
