Detecting backup anomalies on the primary server
This topic provides the procedure to enable the primary server to detect backup anomalies.
To enable the primary server to detect backup anomalies
- Install the NetBackup primary server software on your system (or upgrade the primary server software).
After the installation, the following configurations are automatically done on the primary server:
The NetBackup Anomaly Detection Management service (nbanomalymgmt) is started on the primary server.
The anomaly detection and alert services do not run by default.
Note:
The NetBackup Anomaly Detection Management service stops if the proxy server takes more than 45 minutes to connect to the primary server.
- Configure the backup anomaly settings using the NetBackup web UI. NetBackup takes these settings into account during anomaly detection.
See Configure backup anomaly detection settings.
See How a backup anomaly is detected.
If any anomalies are detected, they are notified through the NetBackup web UI.
