About synchronizing data from NetBackup

Two different processes are responsible for synchronizing data from NetBackup to Self Service. The processes are illustrated.

Table: Synchronization process and associated details

Synchronization process	Details
Synchronization protection	Only synchronized when protection levels are configured. For example, Self Service managing policies. Searches the policies on NetBackup for client computers. Displays the protection level against computer or container (colored tick icons). Self Service keeps local cache up to date itself with add and remove protection requests. Can be manually initiated in the Administration panel.
Synchronization catalog	Synchronizes the backup catalogs and transfers details of all active images to Self Service. Initial post-installation full synchronization that is carried out in configurable batch sizes. Regular task keeps records up to date at Self Service with daily incremental synchronization. Image records are matched against computers in the Self Service inventory. Self Service rolls up image size data per computer and tenant on a nightly basis for summary dashboards. Images for an individual computer are resynchronized on a Backup Now request completion or when an administrator manually initiates in the administration panel.
