Thanks! I have searched, but most hits covered the "native" backup solutions.
A few related questions:
I have moved parts of the pre- and post-backup events, to prevent tape-related commands to be run, as we do not have a tape unit connected to the server. Are there any downsides to that?
When the pre-backup event runs, I get this in the eventlog. I do not see that on another server with the same SME version. Is that normal?
