NetBackup naming conventions

NetBackup has rules for naming logical constructs, such as clients, disk pools, backup policies, storage lifecycle policies, and so on. Generally, names are case-sensitive. The following set of characters can be used in user-defined names and passwords:

Alphabetic (A-Z a-z) (names are case-sensitive)
Numeric (0-9)
Period (.)
Plus (+)
Minus (-)
Do not use a minus as the first character.
Underscore (_)

These characters are also used for foreign languages.

Note:

No spaces are allowed.

The Logical Storage Unit (LSU) name or the Domain Volume name must have fewer than 50 ASCII characters including a hyphen (-) and an underscore (_) and must not have a blank space.

The naming conventions for the NetBackup Deduplication Engine differ from these NetBackup naming conventions.
