Hello Team,

We are going to implement new Commvault backup solution.

Currently the backup solution running VM's image backup and application like SQL, Oracle and Exchange is configured agent based.

SQL DB -  Always-On & Failover cluster (both configuration is available).

 

Going to new Commvault solution will use below mentioned configuration.

  1. Will take entire Image backup.
  2.  Will take image with application-aware backup also.
  3. For SQL Always-on what is the best practice will follow the VM's with application-aware (each SQL AG group will create job and include VM's in part of AG).
    1. What is the backup configuration of SQL using Windows failover VM's (is it supported application aware backup).

Hi @AnandK,

Congratulations and welcome!

For Application Aware SQL backups, standalone servers and primary replica’s are supported. So it should only backup the primary replica - just keep that in mind:
