Backing up SQL Express with NetWorker 19.10
When I create a new client resource using the New Client Wizard, SQL is not listed in the available applications like all my other SQL servers. I assume it's because I am trying to backup SQL Express.
How do I up backup SQL Express with NetWorker 19.10?
Thank you!

https://elabnavigator.dell.com/vault/pdf/NW_All_19_10.pdf?key=1706018706110 states support for various sql server editions, amongst which are the Express Edition.
Which Express Edition specifically? 2012 (EOL, supported on win 2012) or 2016 (supported on win 2016 and win 2019)? Both are stated to be supported for nw19.10.
Is the NW NMM 19.10 module actually installed properly on the client in question after SQL was deployed on it?
We never use the nw client wizard ourselves - so I would not have that much experience with the option SQL showing or not - as that would require knowing the credentials as backup admin, so instead we leave it up to the instance running under SYSTEM with the required DB permissions and we manually configure the backup without needing to specify the credentials. So we always setup NW module backups in such a way that we would not have to enter any credentials, which would have to be assured is all arranged properly on client end (like for databases that would have to configure an encrypted password, but that does not apply to SQL backup but to Oracle, DB2 or SAP).
