I am evaluating Backup Exec as a backup solution for SQL Server (presently SQL Server 2008 R2 soon to be SQL Server 2014).
I am running the trial version of Backup Exec and have installed the Agent for Windows on the SQL Server and I can make backups and have been profiling performance.
So far I have left most options at their default, but I was going to try turning off "Use Snapshot Technology" under Advanced Open File options.
But I cannot seem to find any information on what this does (or rather on what happens if the setting is off). I also cannot find any recommendations for what to do with this setting for SQL Server. The closest thing I have found is this: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO74429, but the option is only mentioned in passing in the context of deduplication devices.
