NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

Concurrently running catalog backups with other backups

You can schedule catalog backups to run concurrently with other backup types for the primary server.

Make the following adjustments to ensure that the catalog backup can proceed while regular backup activity occurs:

  • Set the Maximum jobs per client greater than Maximum number of streams value configured for the catalog policy for the primary server. For example, if Maximum number of streams is set to 4, Maximum jobs per client should be set to 5 or to a greater value.

  • Increase Maximum concurrent jobs setting in proportion with the Maximum number of streams setting that is configured in catalog policy. Increase the setting to ensure that the catalog backup can proceed while regular backup activity occurs.
