Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server is only licensed to run data protection operations to a Tivoli Storage Manager server. It is not licensed to backup or to restore using locally managed snapshots.
Currently installed license allows to create and restore only TSM VSS backups. In order to create backups and to restore local VSS backups, Data Protection for SQL requires that a valid fully-featured license is installed.
The operation stops.
In order to create and restore local VSS backups it is required to purchase and install a fully-featured valid license. NOTE: If you use Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server it is also required to use and install IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager for Copy Services - Microsoft SQL VSS Integration Module or to purchase an upgrade, and install Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager. If IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Copy Services - Microsoft SQL VSS Integration Module is installed, there will be a license file, \"acssql.lic\", in the Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server installation directory.
