can I use MS SQL to manage the Brightstore v9 database?

[groovin]

our M$ Sql server is not taxed very heavily. i heard that you can use SQL server for the brightstore arcserve v9 database. is this true? if so, where can i find some docs on this (i dont recall any of the manuals having this, but ill look again).

thanks

You can use MSSQL server as the underlying database application for the ARCserve database. It is a more stable and robust solution, especially when the database grows very large.
You can even transfer your current VLDB database to SQL using the setupsql and dbtosql utilities.
Check :

great info! i'll probaly try this out next week. question... my sql and brightstor servers are 2 different machines... I noticed these instructions assume theyre on the same machine... how can i import the dbase from one machine to the other? can i just copy the database folder to the sql machine and then run the utilities?

thanks again
