Configuring Auto Image Replication
The backups that are generated in one NetBackup domain can be replicated to storage in one or more target NetBackup domains. This process is referred to as Auto Image Replication (A.I.R.).
You can configure Auto Image Replication in NetBackup, which is using MSDP Scaleout storage servers.
To configure Auto Image Replication
- Logon to the NetBackup Web UI of both replication source and target domain.
- Add each other NetBackup's primary server as trusted primary server.
For more information, see the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide.
- In the replication source domain, get the MSDP_SERVER name from the NetBackup Web UI.
Navigate to Storage > Storage configuration > Storage servers.
- Add MSDP_SERVER in the primary server of replication target domain. Login to the target primary server and run the following command:
echo "MSDP_SERVER = <Source MSDP server name>" >> /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf
- Get the token from the target domain NetBackup Web UI.
Navigate to Security > Token. In the Create token window, enter the token name and other required details. Click Create.
For more information, see the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide.
- Add replication targets for the disk pool in replication source domain.
In the Disk pools tab, click on the disk pool link.
Click Add to add the replication target.
- In the Add replication targets window:
Select the replication target primary server.
Provide the target domain token.
Select the target volume.
