Can Networker tool backup From Sql Always ON Group in Azure
Hello,
We have Sql always on setup done in Azure following below article
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn249504.aspx
Now my team tries to back up using cluster name as the client , networker tool fails to resolve.
But I feel they should try with Listener name since SQL Always on Azure has dependency on cloud service listener name rather than cluster name.
So my questions are:
1) Can Networker tool back up from Sql Always ON Group in Azure ( though it can backup from individual sql server instance (Iaas VMs) which are not in AG) ?
2) Should we use Listener name as the client name to back up?
Any relevant links? please help
Thanks,
Jas

Here is a video that has a good diagram showing the use of Networker 8.2 with SQL Server 2014 in a hybrid cloud scenario. In these scenarios there are a mixture of on-premise and Azure based AlwaysOn replicas. Networker is able to perform backup operations using the on-premise components only. The relevant discussion starts at about the 5' mark.

I know you asked specifically about Networker but you might take a look at Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) for protection Azure VMs and SQL Server. I confirmed with a contact in our Data Protection Services group that AVE is Always On aware. Here is link to EMC.com where you can get lots more information on AVE

Thanks . I've gone thru the video but in my case Sql AG is deployed on Azure and networker on-premise(so we want DB backup from Azure cloud to on premise).
And also SQL 2012 . Can you confirm if this scenario is supported?
