Catalog utility search criteria and backup image details

The catalog utility in the NetBackup web UI lets you perform various actions on a catalog image. For example, verify or duplicate an image. The catalog utility is organized as follows:

    For more details on these actions and on data-in-transit encryption (DTE) in your NetBackup environment, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I and NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.

  • Activity tab

    Displays the progress of the request to verify, duplicate, expire, or import an image.
