SQL 7.0 SP1.
We do SQL Server backup and also third part backup (with SQL agent active) of SQL Server databases.
Sometimes happen this situation:

01.00 SQL Server backup of DB1
01.00 third part backup of DB1
02.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.30 SQL Server differnatial DB backup of DB1
04.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1

or this situation:

01.00 SQL Server backup of DB1
02.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.10 third part backup of DB1
03.30 SQL Server differnatial DB backup of DB1
04.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1

My questions now are:
Are my SQL Server backups valid (DB,Differenatial and T-LOG)?
In case of a restore operation, can I use my SQL Server backups without problem?
In other words, can we leave the third part backup tool active or it should be taken away?


Can anybody clarify this for me?
Thank you in advance.
