Exclude SQL Backup

[johannesr]

Greetings,

I have an application that seems to occasionally freeze when agent backups are starting. Since we have another SQL backup solution in place (nothing fancy, but it works fine for us) I would like to skip SQL Backups. I found some reg-key, but this key is apparently only vor VBR 9+, and not useable with an agent.

How can I achieve this?

Many thanks in advance
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

You can try to work with ExcludeSqlDatabasesFromBackup reg key:

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Endpoint Backup

Multi-String value with the name ExcludeSqlDatabasesFromBackup
Add the instance/database name in any format like below. One entry per string.

IntanceName:DatabaseName;
InstanceName:;
:DatabaseName;

Also, if you are looking for the way to exclude Oracle database, you might be interested in this discussion.

Thanks!
