When you look at SQL it shows that the databases are being backed up, but we haven't used the intergrated SQL backup. We are only doing a file system backup of the server. But when i read in the messages i can see its making a snapshot of the databases. Below is one line i've taken from the session report of the filesystem backup in DP.
[Normal] From: VBDA@servername.domain "servername.domain [/E]" Time: 22/07/2014 04:09:36 VSS Writer 'SqlServerWriter':Component 'master' successfully added in the snapshot.
I'm going to try turning vss writrer off on this job, but I would have thought that was is what we wanted, any advise greatly appreciated.
Just to clarify, I don't want an intergrated SQL backup, i just want certain folder etc.
The only other thing i can possibly see, is we have just selected to exclude all *.ldf *.mdf and *.ndf but as you can see above, it still makes a snapshot of the database
