About synchronizing data from NetBackup

Two different processes are responsible for synchronizing data from NetBackup to Self Service. The processes are illustrated.

Table: Synchronization process and associated details

Synchronization process

Details

Synchronization protection

  • Only synchronized when protection levels are configured. For example, Self Service managing policies.

  • Searches the policies on NetBackup for client computers.

  • Displays the protection level against computer or container (colored tick icons).

  • Self Service keeps local cache up to date itself with add and remove protection requests.

  • Can be manually initiated in the Administration panel.

Synchronization catalog

  • Synchronizes the backup catalogs and transfers details of all active images to Self Service.

  • Initial post-installation full synchronization that is carried out in configurable batch sizes.

  • Regular task keeps records up to date at Self Service with daily incremental synchronization.

  • Image records are matched against computers in the Self Service inventory.

  • Self Service rolls up image size data per computer and tenant on a nightly basis for summary dashboards.

  • Images for an individual computer are resynchronized on a Backup Now request completion or when an administrator manually initiates in the administration panel.
