SQL backup methods

**** Moved to new discussion from https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/backing-and-restore-ms-sql-database ****

Colleagues,

I'd like to ask about your experiences with backing up SQL DBs especially if there is possibility to mix two backup methods: 1) based on VMware snapshotting (VMware policy type) and 2) backup of transaction logs over LAN (SQL policy type).

I notice that for restore I cannot combine two types of images, for VMware type I can only make full restore without applying transaction logs.

Is it possible to combine these two types of images for restore or not?
