SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) developed and marketed by Microsoft. As a database server, the primary function of the SQL Server is to store and retrieve data used by other applications.

Sybase and Microsoft released version 1.0 in 1989. The partnership between the two companies fell apart in the early 90s, but Microsoft kept the rights to the name SQL Server.

SQL Server is Microsoft’s relational database management system (RDBMS). It is a full-featured database primarily designed to compete against competitors Oracle Database (DB) and MySQL.

SQL Server is sometimes referred to as MSSQL and Microsoft SQL Server.

NetBackup for SQL Server extends the capabilities of NetBackup for Windows to include backups and restores of SQL Server databases. These capabilities are provided for a Windows client using either a UNIX or Windows NetBackup master server. NetBackup for SQL Server includes a client-based graphical user interface (GUI) program to perform various activities on SQL Server.

NetBackup offers the following types of SQL Server backup policies:
SQL Server Intelligent Policies. A single policy protects multiple SQL Server instances that are spread over multiple clients. You select instances for a policy from a list of instances that are automatically discovered in the NetBackup environment.
Legacy policies, using clients and batch files. These policies include a list of SQL database clients and a batch file that contains SQL backup commands to run when the backup is scheduled. The user creates this batch file manually or through the NetBackup MS SQL Client interface, which saves the options the user selects to the batch file.
NetBackup for SQL Server includes the NetBackup MS SQL Client to perform various activities on SQL Server, as follows:
Restores of databases and database components, which include transaction logs, differentials, files, and filegroups.
Configuration of restore options.
Monitoring of NetBackup for SQL Server restore operations.
(SQL Server legacy policies) Backups of databases and database components and configuration of backup options.
