NetBackup™ Security and Encryption Guide

Alerts for expiration of KMS credentials

NetBackup uses the certificates that are stored in credential manager service to connect to KMS server. If this certificate is expired, jobs fail. To avoid job failures, you can configure the notifications that you can receive when the credential certificate is about to expire.

Refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I to configure notifications.
