For databases, always use the recommended backup tools of the database software. So for your AppVolumes DB, use the MS SQL server backup options to create a backup of the DB.

Snapshots of a DB server might be difficult to restore if anything happens.

I ended up snapshotting all appvolumes servers with memory, then snapshotting the sql server as a whole as well.
