About the catalog backup process

Normally, a catalog backup consists of one parent job and two or more child jobs. Events for these jobs appear in the dbm log.

An overview of the catalog backup process consists of the following process:

Creates a staging directory where the command can store the temporary copies:
On Windows: install_path\NetBackupDB\staging
On UNIX: /usr/openv/db/staging
Once the copy is made, NetBackup can back up the catalog files.
A child job backs up files in a single stream as follows:
- Configuration files
- Databases
  bmrdb\
  nbazdb\
  nbdb\
A second child job begins the image catalog backup.
