-### Enable communication with database
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Support for Microsoft SQL Server is Preview feature.  
-> This section's content supplements [Install Azure Application Consistent Snapshot tool](azacsnap-installation.md) page.
-This section explains how to enable communication with the database. Ensure the database you're using is correctly selected from the tabs.
-
-# [Microsoft SQL Server](#tab/mssql)
-
-The snapshot tools issue commands to the Microsoft SQL Server database directly to enable and disable backup mode.  
-
-AzAcSnap connects directly to Microsoft SQL Server using the provided connect-string to issue SQL commands, such as `ALTER SERVER CONFIGURATION SET SUSPEND_FOR_SNAPSHOT_BACKUP = ON` or `ALTER SERVER CONFIGURATION SET SUSPEND_FOR_SNAPSHOT_BACKUP = OFF`.  The connect-string will determine if the installation is on the database server or a centralized "backup" server.  Typical installations of AzAcSnap would be onto the database server to ensure features such as flushing file buffers can  work as expected.  If AzAcSnap has been installed onto the database server, then be sure the user running azacsnap has the required permissions.
-
-##### `azacsnap` user permissions
-
-Refer to [Get started with Azure Application Consistent Snapshot tool](azacsnap-get-started.md)
-The `azacsnap` user should have permissions to put Microsoft SQL Server into backup mode, and have permissions to flush I/O buffers to the volumes configured.
-
-Configure (`.\azacsnap.exe -c configure`) with the correct values for Microsoft SQL Server and test (`.\azacsnap.exe -c test --test mssql`) azacsnap database connectivity.
-Run the `azacsnap` test command
-```shell
-.\azacsnap.exe -c test --test mssql
-```
-
-```output
-BEGIN : Test process started for 'mssql'
-BEGIN : Database tests
-PASSED: Successful connectivity to MSSQL version 16.00.1115
-END   : Test process complete for 'mssql'
-```

-The following sections provide detailed guidance on the various values required for the configuration file.
-# [Microsoft SQL Server](#tab/mssql)
-#### Microsoft SQL Server Database values for configuration
-When adding a Microsoft SQL Server database to the configuration, the following values are required:
-- **connectionString** = The Connection String used to connect to the database.  For a typical AzAcSnap installation on to the system running Microsoft SQL Server where the Database Instance is MSSQL2022 the connection string = "Trusted_Connection=True;Persist Security Info=True;Data Source=MSSQL2022;TrustServerCertificate=true".
-- **instanceName** = The database instance name.
-- **metaDataFileLocation** = The location where Microsoft SQL Server will write out the backup meta-data file (for example, "C:\\MSSQL_BKP\\").

 ## Azure NetApp Files backup
 
 When you're taking snapshots by using AzAcSnap on multiple volumes, all the snapshots have the same name by default. Due to the removal of the volume name from the resource ID hierarchy when the snapshot is archived into an Azure NetApp Files backup, you must ensure that the snapshot name is unique.
