About Resilient jobs
The Resilient jobs feature lets the media server's and client's job processes continue to run during a service disruption with the primary server.
To determine if a job is resilient, search the job details for the text, "job is resilient". If this text is present, the job is resilient.
The Resilient jobs feature is enabled by default. This feature is only available for some policy types. Review the following requirements and limitations:
The resiliency feature is either enabled or disabled. Backup jobs run as resilient jobs only when resiliency is enabled.
Resilient jobs are supported only for Windows, Standard, Oracle, and MS-SQL-Server policy types.
Support is available for BYO primary server on all platforms, and Flex. CloudScale is not supported .
Backups cannot be multiplexed.
Backups cannot have parent and child hierarchy. Use the Activity monitor to show parent and child relationship.
Backup jobs with Windows and Standard policy types cannot have parent and child hierarchy.
However, the parent and child hierarchy is supported for backup jobs with Oracle and MS-SQL-Server policy types.
Use the Activity monitor to show parent and child relationship.
If the primary server fails, job resiliency is supported. However, if the media server or the client fails for any reason, the job resiliency is not supported.
Note:
If the primary server is also either the media server or the client, and if it fails, the job is not resilient.
Resiliency of the job holds true only when the job is marked as resilient.
If the job is not yet marked resilient, the job will fail if a network disruption is detected by the media server processes during backups.
If the client fails for any reason, the resilient job feature is not supported.
If the primary server is upgraded while a backup is active, the backup is not resilient.
The media server support for job resiliency is based on policy types:
For backup jobs with Windows and Standard policy types, the NetBackup media server and client must be 10.1.1 or later.
For backup jobs with Oracle and MS-SQL-Server policy types, the NetBackup media server and client must be 11.2 or later.
Multi-stream backup jobs are not supported for backup jobs with Windows and Standard policy types..
Fiber Transport Media Server (FTMS) environments are not supported.
If the primary server services restart during a client-initiated MS SQL Server backup, the parent job shows status 50 when the backup job is in progress.
The final status of the parent job is updated after the backup job completes.
