Know your gear
The SQL Server Agent provides the ability to back up and restore Microsoft SQL servers. Without the agent add-on, Retrospect cannot easily and reliably back up databases from a running SQL server.
You can back up a SQL server locally, running the Retrospect application on the server itself, or you can back up the SQL server as a Retrospect client, running the Retrospect application on a different computer.
