MSSQL VDI: Limitations

Enterprise

Bacula Enterprise Only

This solution is only available for Bacula Enterprise. For subscription inquiries, please reach out to sales@baculasystems.com.

The current version of the plugin has the following limitations:

• The plugin can have only one Plugin command line in the Fileset. To backup multiple databases in the same Job, it is possible to use the include parameter multiple times on the plugin command string.

• To restore a database with a new name and a new location, the layout.dat file must be selected in the restore process. The relocation function will not work correctly if data files were added after the last Full backup job.

• It is not possible to restore multiple databases with a new name in a single restore job. The restore should be performed in different restore jobs.

• Database snapshots are automatically excluded from the backup.

• The restart command has limitations with plugins, as it initiates the Job from scratch rather than continuing it. Bacula determines whether a Job is restarted or continued, but using the restart command will result in a new Job.

These limitations will be addressed in a future version.
