Which statement best describes what happens when a 3rd-party backup tool is chosen to manage log backups for Microsoft SQL in NDB?

You're right Jamika, Using Microsoft SQL Server, if the database is managed by another third-party backup vendor, you can choose to grant exclusive log access to NDB while registering the database to NDB. If you do not grant exclusive log access to NDB, the Point-in-Time (PIT) recovery will not be supported, but snapshot-based recovery of the databases is supported.

Hmm, this is an interesting one. I think the key here is whether we're granted exclusive log access or not. If we don't have that, then it seems like the PIT recovery might be affected, but snapshot-based recovery could still be supported. Does that sound right to you guys?

I'm not sure about this question. It seems a bit tricky, and I'm not too familiar with the specific details of NDB and third-party backup tools. I'll have to think this through carefully.
