Licensing the plug-in

The plug-in supports backup and restore of shared data only. For a SQL Server Failover Cluster or AlwaysOn environment, only a single license is needed — a clustered application license for the Virtual Client.

For information on the licensing process, including how to obtain the proper license keys, see the Quest NetVault Backup Installation Guide.

Removing the plug-in from a standalone deployment

For details on removing the Plug‑in for SQL Server in high-availability deployment, see the applicable topic on working with client clusters in the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

 
* 
CAUTION: Removing the plug-in does not remove the configuration settings that you created. If you reinstall the plug-in or install a newer version, the plug-in typically uses the same configuration settings from the previous installation unless otherwise indicated in the release notes.
