Veeam and database Backup

[jnap]

Hello,
Little poll to Veeam Community, about databases backup (SQL, Oracle, MySQL, Postgrès)

How do you backup your databases?
- Using Veeam Guest Processing, with Veeam Scheduler.
=> what about batches scheduling?
- Using scripts, with local disk backups
=> backup is scheduled with company scheduler, between app/db batches
- Using script executing veeam backup
=> but with 1 VM per Job, and using company scheduler
- Other way? Rman Veeam Agent? OS Veeam Agent?


Thanks!

I have scripts that dump my databases to a file and then everything is backed up by Veeam. This is so if something with the database goes awry, I have a copy of it separate from a server backup.

SQL: Use the image level backup methods with guest processing and enabled log shipping. VM backup or Agent image backup possible.

Oracle: Depending on setup you can use same approach or RMAN.

MySQL and Postgres use Veeam Agent for Linux 4.0 that came with v10.

For MYSQL/Postgrès, it does not work if you have multi-instances databases on one server.
