Configure Snapshot Manager in NetBackup
You can add a Snapshot Manager using the NetBackup Web UI. Starting with 8.3, the Snapshot Manager can discover cloud assets on Amazon Web Services, Azure, Azure Stack Hub, GCP and from version 10.4 OCI cloud is also supported.
Consider the following important points:
You can associate multiple Snapshot Manager servers to a NetBackup master server. But Snapshot Manager server cannot have multiple NetBackup master servers.
You can now manage Snapshot Manager and control the discovery of assets from the NetBackup web UI, REST APIs, and CLIs without interacting with the Snapshot Manager interfaces.
For backup from snapshot jobs, the NetBackup media storage associated servers are used instead of Snapshot Manager associated media servers. The NetBackup media storage associated servers must be connected to the Snapshot Manager to facilitate all the Snapshot Manager related operations.
The following table describes the underlying tasks.
