  • My apologies for the delay. I was out of the office and got caught up yesterday on an issue. I appreciate the time you took in replying.

    While I am not the primary, I, more or less, have control over commvault. In my shop, the SQL servers are managed by the same team as the rest of our servers.

    There isn't currently anything formal with respect to RTO. It is almost always ASAP. Nothing formal for RPO either. This will be something I will be working on as part of this cleanup.

    I am still on the fence about what direction to go.

    I am inclined to go native with commvault backing up the filesystem. My reasoning is that I do not need to rely on a third part tool and another server to restore as I would if we used commvault exclusively.

    That said, I need to learn more about any advantages the commvault SQL agent provides over native.

    Thanks again
