About configuring NetBackup storage units and backup policies
You must configure storage units and policies for your shared drives. If you used the Configure drives and robots wizard to configure the shared drives, you may have configured storage units and policies already.
Configure storage units and backup policies as follows:
Configuring storage units for each media server | In each storage unit definition, logically define the robot and the shared drives for that media server. For the used for backup, specify the total number of all shared drives in the robot. When you configure storage units, select a single media server. Alternatively, you can allow NetBackup to select the media server to use at the time of the backup. For example, you can configure a single storage unit that any media server that shares the storage unit can use. |
Configuring a backup policy for each media server | How you define a policy for a media server depends on your media server license, as follows:
A license for a regular media server provides the greatest flexibility; a license for a NetBackup SAN media server is more restrictive. For a policy for the clients that you want to back up anywhere in your configuration, you can choose any available storage unit. Alternatively, you can use storage unit groups (prioritized storage units). |
