Feature request - Please don't

[Gnaah]

Hi.

Related to one support ticket, it seems that when the option of Application Aware is disabled,
Veeam is still doing (or trying to) take backups of SQL Databases.
This can be verified from SQL logs, and was propably related to VSS also.
If some other tool is used to take care of the SQL backups, this is not a wanted feature.

Hello Kari.

Please share your case ID for a review. Thank you in advance.

Hi.
I prefer not to, due the contents of my , or any others support case ID's are confident data between "me" and "Veeam" ,
maybe including details of "my" company etc, and this is a Public forum (almost), which in my list is not in the "Trust" Zone.
Or if this is another yank to wake up some "Product Managers", please take a look in the mirror how your own R&D etc. works.

BR, Gnaah

Hi Kari, sharing your case ID doesn't imply sharing any of your sensitive info, but allows us (Veeam employees) to look through the case details to get a better understanding of what's happening. Your initial post doesn't provide enough information about the issue to draw any sort of conclusion. Still, you're making a feature request and we need to get a better understanding of what you're requesting.

Anyway, I was able to find and review the case and I'm actually not sharing your concerns regarding database backups. Unless you do a file-level backup, even with application-aware processing disabled Veeam Agent for Windows backs up the entire volume, including the database files located there. But it performs the COPY_ONLY backup that does not impact normal sequence of SQL Server backups in any way. What could have effect, is logs truncation, but it is not performed in case of COPY_ONLY backup.

Btw, regarding the name "Kari" , why was it named here ?
