Prerequisites for NetBackup for MariaDB

Ensure that you meet the following prerequisites:

  • NetBackup is installed and operational on the primary server, media server, and the client.

  • The MariaDB database is installed and operational on the client.

Note:

MariaDB instances must be started using mariadb instead of mysqld. To create a MariaDB service in a Windows environment, use the following command: "<mariadb-installation-dir>\bin\mariadbd.exe" --install "<service-name>" --defaults-file="<defaults-file-path>\my.ini"

Example - E:\MariaDB_11.4.2\bin\mariadbd.exe" --install "MariaDBD" --defaults-file="E:\MariaDB_11.4.2\my.ini"
