Backing up NetBackup Snapshot Manager
To back up NetBackup Snapshot Manager when it is deployed in a cloud
- Stop NetBackup Snapshot Manager services.
Depending on the environment, use the following respective commands:
(For Docker) # sudo docker run -it --rm -u 0 -v /full_path_to_volume_name:/full_path_to_volume_name -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:version stop
(For Podman) # sudo podman run -it --rm -u 0 -v /full_path_to_volume_name:/full_path_to_volume_name -v /var/run/podman.sock:/var/run/podman.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:version stop
Here, version represents the currently installed NetBackup Snapshot Manager product version. You can retrieve the version using the following command:
# cat /cloudpoint/version
As an example following is the command for docker environment:
# sudo docker run -it --rm -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:10.1.0.0.1005 stop
Note:
This is a single command. Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.
- Ensure that all NetBackup Snapshot Manager containers are stopped. This step is important because all activity and connections to and from NetBackup Snapshot Manager must be stopped to get a consistent NetBackup Snapshot Manager backup.
Enter the following:
(For Docker) # sudo docker ps | grep veritas
(For Podman) # sudo podman ps | grep veritas
This command should not return any actively running NetBackup Snapshot Manager containers.
- (Optional) If you still see any active containers, repeat step 2. If that does not work, run the following command on each active container:
(For Docker) # sudo docker kill container_name
(For Podman) # sudo podman kill container_name
As an example following is the command for docker environment:
# sudo docker kill flexsnap-api
- After all the containers are stopped, take a snapshot of the volume on which you installed NetBackup Snapshot Manager. Use the cloud provider's snapshot tools.
- After the snapshot completes, restart NetBackup Snapshot Manager services.
Use the following command:
(For Docker) # sudo docker run -it --rm -u 0 -v /full_path_to_volume_name:/full_path_to_volume_name-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:version start
(For Podman) # sudo podman run -it --rm -u 0 -v /full_path_to_volume_name:/full_path_to_volume_name-v /var/run/podman.sock:/var/run/podman.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:version start
Here, version represents the currently installed NetBackup Snapshot Manager product version.
As an example following is the command for docker environment:
# sudo docker run -it --rm -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:10.1.0.0.1005 start
Note:
This is a single command. Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.
To backup NetBackup Snapshot Manager when it is deployed on-premise
- Stop NetBackup Snapshot Manager services.
Use the following command:
(For Docker) # sudo docker run -it --rm -u 0 -v /full_path_to_volume_name:/full_path_to_volume_name -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:version stop
(For Podman) # sudo podman run -it --rm -u 0 -v /full_path_to_volume_name:/full_path_to_volume_name -v /var/run/podman.sock:/var/run/podman.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:version stop
Here, version represents the currently installed NetBackup Snapshot Manager product version.
As an example following is the command for docker environment:
# sudo docker run -it --rm -u 0 -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-deploy:10.1.0.0.1005 stop
Note:

- Ensure that all NetBackup Snapshot Manager containers are stopped. This step is important because all activity and connections to and from NetBackup Snapshot Manager must be stopped to get a consistent NetBackup Snapshot Manager backup.
Enter the following:
(For Docker) # sudo docker ps | grep veritas
(For Podman) # sudo podman ps | grep veritas

- (Optional) If you still see any active containers, repeat step 2. If that does not work, run the following command on each active container:
(For Docker) # sudo docker kill container_name
(For Podman) # sudo podman kill container_name
As an example following is the command for docker environment:
# sudo docker kill flexsnap-api
- Back up the folder
/cloudpoint. Use any backup method you prefer.For example:
# tar -czvf cloudpoint_dr.tar.gz /cloudpoint
This command creates a compressed archive file named
cloudpoint_dr.tar.gzthat contains the data in the/cloudpointdirectory.
