About Microsoft SQL protection

The Windows agent extends the Unitrends solution to protect Microsoft SQL Server databases and database objects by enabling a SQL-aware system. This means that the Windows agent can detect the presence of SQL on a server and will display an icon representing the SQL application in the Navigation pane when adding a client.

When performing SQL backups, only the SQL databases are backed up. No operating system or file-level data is protected. Likewise, when performing operating system or file-level backups, no SQL database files are backed up. To protect the Windows operating system and file system, see Windows Bare Metal Protection and Windows Protection.

For a complete list of supported SQL versions, see the Unitrends Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix.
