I am installing a SQL third party backup tool on one of my staging servers and it warned me that Java Virtual Machine is not on the server and has to be installed. Does DBAs normally install JVM on their servers? How about on a prod server?

Thanks!

I don't have any problem to install but my question is specifically regarding JVM. Do you normally install it on your prod servers?

I don't have it on any of my production servers since I don't have any products installed that needs it. If you are uncomfortable with installing the JVM, then I'd suggest looking at alternative backup tools.
