Backing up and restoring the databases that contains full-text catalogs

When you back up a database that contains a full-text catalog, NetBackup writes the catalog name and directory path to NetBackup catalog. NetBackup for SQL Server displays the full-text catalog information in the backup history properties windows when you select the database backup image. If you choose to move the database, then the saved full-text catalog information allows NetBackup for SQL Server to generate specifications for the move template. In the move template, you can specify a path for the catalog directory.

snapshot backups also include all of the files in any full-text catalog that is associated with the object that is backed up. This affects backups database, filegroup, and file backups as follows:

Database backup: The full-text catalog files are backed up with the full database snapshot backup.
Filegroup backup: The full-text catalog files are backed up for any catalog that is associated with the filegroup.
File backup: NetBackup for SQL Server backs up the full-text catalog files along with a snapshot file backup
The backup is performed based on the following conditions:
- The file belongs to a filegroup that is associated with a full-text catalog
- The file has the lowest sort-order of any file that belongs to the filegroup.

Backups and restores based on snapshots are affected based on the extra catalog files that are included in the snapshot.
