Detecting backup anomalies on the media server
This topic provides the workflow and the procedure that enable the media server to detect backup anomalies.
To enable the media server to detect backup anomalies
- Install the NetBackup media server software on your system (or upgrade the media server software).
- On the media server, start the nbanomalymgmt service manually. Use the following script:
nbanomalymgmt -start
- (Optional) If you want to preserve the data that the master server has gathered earlier, do the following:
Ensure that the nbanomalymgmt service on master server is stopped.
Copy the NB_Anomaly.db file from the anomaly_detection folder on the master server to the anomaly_detection folder on the media server.
Start the nbanomalymgmt service on the media server.
- Configure the backup anomaly settings in the NetBackup web UI. NetBackup takes these settings into account during anomaly detection.
See Configure anomaly detection settings.
See How a backup anomaly is detected.
If any anomalies are detected, they are notified using the NetBackup web UI.
See View anomalies.
