When we install Litespeed on the server , can we still run a native sql server backup through maintenance plan? Or are the backups automatcially use SQL Litespeed.

I installed Litespeed on our machines and my old native SQL Server maintenance plans doing regular SQL Server backups are also using SQL Lite speed to backup.

Appreciate any information on this.

Thanks

Well , we just have to give a different file extension for the backups. So , I gave bkp as extension for backups taken from Lite Speed.

Thanks

To clarify, LiteSpeed does not change the BACKUP command in any way. You can still use it normally. LiteSpeed adds a few extended stored procedures that do backups.

Litespeed now comes with a new installer that will replace the native commands. If you installed that, then your normal backups are now using Litespeed.

Please note: if you are running both native and Litespeed differential backups you are going to need both backups to restore the system.
