Protecting databases

You must register the database applications that you want to protect in IBM Storage® Protect Plus and then create jobs to back up and restore the databases and resources that are associated with the applications.

Restriction: IBM Storage Protect Plus might create folders on application servers when applications are registered with IBM Storage Protect Plus. Folders created by IBM Storage Protect Plus must remain for the product to function properly. However, if you must remove a folder that was created by IBM Storage Protect Plus, unregister the application and IBM Storage Protect Plus will clean up the folders that are associated with the registration.

Do not assign more than one application per machine as an application server to a resource group. For example, if Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server occupy the same machine and both are registered with IBM Storage Protect Plus, only one of the applications can be added as an application server to a given resource group.
