NetBackup server and client requirements
Verify that the following requirements are met for the NetBackup server:
The NetBackup server software is installed and operational on the NetBackup server.
See the NetBackup Installation Guide.
Make sure that you configure any backup media that the storage unit uses. The number of media volumes that are required depends on several things:
The devices that are used and storage capacity of the media
The sizes of the databases that you want to back up
The amount of data that you want to archive
The size of your backups
The frequency of backups or archives
The length of retention of the backup images
Verify that the following requirements are met for the NetBackup clients:
The NetBackup client software is installed on the computer that has the databases you want to back up.
If the database is clustered, you must use the same version of NetBackup on each node in the cluster.
To use the new features that are included in NetBackup for SAP in NetBackup 10.0, you must upgrade your NetBackup for SAP clients to NetBackup 10.0. The NetBackup media server must use the same version as the NetBackup for SAP client or a higher version than the client.
