manages the backup and restore on different SQL servers.
■ SQL Server
The SQL Server can be a standalone server or a cluster of virtual servers. The release version
of SQL server must be 2005 or 2008. Versions prior to SQL Server 2005 are not supported.
■ Connectivity
Both the backup server and SQL Server need to be connected to the same InServ Storage
