White Paper: Installing BackupAssist on a SQL Server
If a BackupAssist base license is installed on the SQL Server, it is possible to backup the SQL databases using the NTBackup, Imaging, File Replication, or ZIP Engines included in the BackupAssist base license. This is accomplished by selecting the appropriate directories where the Microsoft SQL databases are located.
