Configuring the Cloud objects tab
The Cloud objects tab lets you select the Cloud object store account that you want to use to connect to cloud resources to protect object in desired buckets. NetBackup lets you make discrete selection of the buckets/containers and objects that you want to protect using the policy. You can use queries to intelligently filter and select the items that you want to protect.
NetBackup supports single backup host per policy. Hence, to distribute the load, you have to create multiple policies, and using queries you can bifurcate the load of buckets/objects being backed up across multiple backup hosts.
To configure cloud objects:
- Select a Cloud object store account and Backup host. You can see a list of accounts and backup hosts that you are privileged to access.
- To add buckets/containers, click Add on top of the Buckets/Containers table. In the Add bucket/containers dialog, do any of the following to add buckets/containers.
To add a particular container, enter the name in the Bucket/Container name field, and click Add.
Select one or more bucket(s)/container(s) from the Bucket/Containers table, and click Add. You can use the search box above the table to filter the list.
If the Cloud object store account credentials do not have permission to list buckets, the bucket list remains empty. But you can manually add buckets.
Note:
The permissions to get list of buckets is not required to backup the objects in the bucket.
In the Cloud objects tab, click Remove in the row of any bucket/container name in the Buckets/Containers table to remove it from the policy. Enter a keyword in the search box to filter the table.
- To add a query to the selected buckets/containers, click Add query under Queries.
- Enter a name for the query, and select the buckets that you want to filter using the query.
- In the Select objects/blobs table, select the option Include all objects/blobs in the selected buckets/containers to backup the entire bucket(s).
- Under Buckets with no queries, select the buckets/containers to which you want to add queries. If a bucket is previously selected to include all queries, that bucket does not appear in this list. Click Add condition or Add Tag condition to add a condition or a tag condition. See Adding conditions . and See Adding tag conditions . respectively, for more details.
