Given the frequency with which you are running the TLog backups, how will you know there isn't a currently running TLog backup when the Full or Differential starts?
I would suggest a simpler solution, and ask if it is acceptable under your SLA. Set up One Policy with your Full and Differential backups. Set up a second policy to do your TLog backups every 15 minutes, and exclude the window in Which the Full and Differential backups run. Yes, this will leave some gap after your Full and Differential backups are running before you get TLog backups again, but given that that gap will exist outside of business hours, that may be acceptable.

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 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. .../Ed Ed Wilts, RHCE, BCFP, BCSD, SCSP, SCSE ewi...@ewilts.org<mailto:ewi...@ewilts.org>
