If you are using the SQL option, then you have a couple options. Basically, since SQL is really handling the backups, not Navision, you back it up as you would any other SQL database. The Navision software need not be involved at all. You can use the TDP for SQL or use SQL's built-in backup utilities. We actually use the built-in one to dump the database to a file on a separate disk array. Then TSM backs up that "file" as a flat file (which we have bound to a special MC in TSM). To restore, simply restore the file from TSM, and then run the restore process in SQL and point it to the file. We have done several restores this way; it has worked flawlessly for us and actually avoids the TDP altogether. HTH! Chris
