operations using one of the following configurations are not supported:
• A database is stored in the shared folder for the network
• tempdb is stored on a local disk
• A cluster is configured across multiple subnets
Allocating files that comprise a database
Allocate the database file backed up by Application Agent to a volume separate from files not to be
backed up.
Application Agent can back up only the database configuration files (the *.mdf and *.ndf data
files and the *.ldf transaction log file) and metafiles. Metafiles are generated when the backup
command is executed.
For database configuration files that are not subject to backup and for general files, no freezing
processing is executed. Therefore, if the primary volume contains a file that is not subject to the freezing
processing, pair partitions will be duplicated during file writing, resulting in loss of database integrity.
Allocate only the database configuration files subject to the freezing processing in the primary volume.
Allocation of database configuration files is shown in the figure below.
