NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Data Center Administrator's Guide

Configuring Snapshot Manager

Before using the Snapshot Manager for Data Center to perform snapshot management operations, you need to configure the Snapshot Manager for Data Center component in NetBackup.

Starting with NetBackup version 11.1, a NAS administrator can use an existing Snapshot Manager configured by a cloud administrator. To reduce network usage and costs, deploy Snapshot Manager in the cloud to protect cloud assets, or on-premises to protect on-premises assets.

To add a Snapshot Manager for Data Center:

  1. On the left, click Snapshot Manager, under Storage.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Enter a host name for the Snapshot Manager server, and a port. The default port is 443. Click Validate to verify the connectivity to the server.

You can see the added server in the Snapshot servers tab.

See Securing the connection to NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center. for details of Certificate revoking for snapshot manager.
