Backing up NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center

To backup NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center when it is deployed on-premises

  1. Stop NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center services.

    (For Docker/Podman)

    flexsnap_configure stop

  2. Ensure that all NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center containers are stopped. This step is important because all activity and connections to and from NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center must be stopped to get a consistent NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center backup.

    Enter the following:

    (For Docker) # sudo docker ps | grep veritas

    (For Podman) # sudo podman ps | grep veritas

    This command should not return any actively running NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center containers.

  3. (Optional) If you still see any active containers, repeat this step 2. If that does not work, run the following command on each active container:

    (For Docker) # sudo docker kill container_name

    (For Podman) # sudo podman kill container_name

    For example, the following is the command for the docker environment:

    # sudo docker kill flexsnap-api

  4. Back up the folder /cloudpoint. Use any backup method you prefer.

    For example:

    # tar -czvf cloudpoint_dr.tar.gz /cloudpoint

    This command creates a compressed archive file named cloudpoint_dr.tar.gz that contains the data in the /cloudpoint directory.
