SQL Server 2022 Always On Contained groups?

Hello @Chris Newman 

This is such a great question,  I am running some tests in my labs to confirm if it has any impact or not. 
The logic that CV uses will check the list of databases that are apart of the AG and protect those at the start of every job so there should theoretically be no difference. 

I will report back after i have tested in my lab to validate i had no failures or issues. 

Kind regards

@Chris Newman interesting idea! I'll do some reading myself and will share it with the rest of my team. One thing to note is that SQL 2022 doesn't seem to be supported yet as the table doesn't mention a specific maintenance release, however this version does already appear on the table and there are references that you can upgrade to it. Did you open a ticket for it to get confirmation?

I would also be curious to hear if/when Commvault will start to ship their media kit with SQL 2022. 

Hello @Onno van den Berg , thank you for the reply.  We haven’t opened a ticket as we aren’t quite there yet but are heading in that direction.  I’m just checking the boxes for our readiness to migrate and backups are one of the things we have to consider.  Thank you!
