During discovery, it is determined that a group of MSSQL systems are running in an Always-On cluster and sensitive to virtual machine stun. How should these systems be configured for backups?
A.
Deploy Veeam agents configured for failover clustering.
B.
Perform a regular virtual machine backup without application aware processing.
C.
Enable application aware processing on the virtual machine backup job.
The best way to configure backups for a group of MSSQL systems running in an Always-On cluster and sensitive to virtual machine stun is to deploy Veeam agents configured for failover clustering. Veeam agents can provide application-aware processing and transaction log backup for MSSQL servers, as well as support for failover clustering and cluster shared volumes. Veeam agents can also reduce the impact of virtual machine stun by performing backups at the guest OS level, without using VMware snapshots.
