I see backup records interspersed with my native SQL Backups.
In the msdb..backupset table, what type of backups are recorded as performed by NetBackup?
I have the following backup sequence, with the {59CC1199…. record being a Netbackup VMDK snapshot full backup, and the VNBU0…. record being a NetBackup SQL Server-level full backup. Other items are native SQL Server backups I am able to successfully restore from the initial native SQL backup (last item) up to any other transaction logs without a problem. There are no transaction log files that have an LSN matching the native FULL backup at the bottom, but I can use that FULL backup for some reason. This makes me nervous, but maybe this is normal. You can see that the transaction log chain bypasses the NetBackup full backups.

Since the snapshot backups are logged as full backups, it will only affect any subsequent differential backups. Your transaction log restore chain is still unbroken, as long as you have a full backup, and all subsequent log backups made after that full backup, available.
To make sure I understand you - If I took a full backup a month ago, and have had a hundred full backups and transaction log backups since then, I could still restore by restoring the initial backup, and all transaction logs after that (without needing any fulll backups in between)? (I do not use differential backups) / comments
