Hi Ed, I think there is a confusion here, probably, i did not explain it clearly my requirement. Ok, Here it is:
Actually we are implementing the Netbackup SQL Agent for all our SQL
databases. So iam finding the best method to implement the Full, Diff &
tlog backup.
Full - Needs to run weekends
Diff. - Needs to Run week days
TLog - Needs to run every 15 minutes
This is the requirement.
But in the past these SQL backup were managed by the SQL dba's uning the
SQL scheduler in .bak extension, & disk as the target of backup. So Our
SQL DBA were telling that when FULL or Diff SQL backup is running they
will disable the TLog backup, untill the Full or Diff backup is completed.
So we are also planning to implement the same method as suggested by them,
using the Netbackup SQL Agent
Pls. recommend if there is any better method to implement using the
Netbackup SQL Agent.

We are in the process of setting up the SQL Hotbackup agent policies using
Netbackup. We are looking for a method to do the below:
1. When a Full or Differential SQL backup is starting & till the jobs
completes, we want SQL log Netbackup policy to be disabled.? How do i do
this? the below is the order i want to do it.
a) When a Full backup or diff. is started from the Netbackup policy.,
First step: deactivate/disable the SQL Log policy in netbackup
Second. step : Run the full or diff backup
Third step: once the jobs is completed , then activate/enable the SQL Log
policy in netbackup
I really don't think you want to do this - the process looks error prone
and I expect that if you go down this route you'll find yourself with
disabled backup policies when they should be enabled. To make matters
worse, it will be your sql log policies which means you won't be able to
restore if anything does go wrong and I really do expect that you'll not
realize it until after you need to do a restore and it's too late.
Use a NetBackup SQL agent and put it in control.
