Unity Backup -SQL

I am using Dirt to back up Unity on a weekly basis. I also want to do a full backup on my Unity server using our enterprise backup product. I have the Exchange agent installed and it seems to be backing up Exchange ok. I also need to back up the SQL database using an SQL agent that will back up open SQL files. The backup group is asking what Directories/files need to be backed up specificaly by the SQL agent.

Thanks for any help!

I personally have found it unnecessary to go to the expense and trouble of installing and maintaining the SQL backup agent on the Unity server.

I run an automated DIRT backup to a target folder on a local drive and then the backup software just goes after the file system (excluding open files). The Cisco folks can correct me if I am wrong here, but I believe restoring your SQL database in any other manner than via DIRT Restore is not supported anyway.
