We use ArcServe (CA) with SQL Agent.
I am interested in understanding what is better here.
We now use SQL Server to backup DB and T-log and ArcServe too (only for
DB once at 12.00).
Can anyone explain if is better SQL Server to do backups?
Are there facts,articles... that can tell us not to use third part tools?
If we use both, the sequence of t-log is still valid?
example:
01.00 full SQL backup (disk)
08.00 SQL t-log backup (disk)
09.00 "
10.00 "
11.00 "
12.00 full ARCServe backup (tape)
13.00 SQL t-log backup (disk)
and so on...
Will I be able to to a restore with full SQL backup (01.00) + all the t-log even if in between there is a full ARCServe backup?

Thank you.
