                                            | Hi,    I want to do the backup of SQL server. I want the backup to be consistent. So before starting the backup i want to freeze the DB and once i finish i want to thaw it.I read the Microsoft SQL server virtual backup specifications. It is concerned with taking backup of the DB using snapshot or without using snapshot.I don't want the snapshot to be created. I just want to freeze it and i will take the backup ( with or without snapshot ) . After that i want to thaw it. Is it possible using VDI or is there some other way to do that ? |  |

                                          | That's for third party to build tools, you can't use that in regular backup. |
