Enhanced backup performance in 11.0 or later
NetBackup 11.0 introduces significantly improved Cloud object store backups by decentralizing object handling and backups.
The new design facilitates parallel processing and object copy, which significantly reduces latency, increases throughput, and improves overall backup efficiency.
NetBackup uses two distinct modules that independently exchange Cloud object store data and metadata over a staging location on the backup host. These two modules can fetch objects, manage the staging area, incorporate accelerator backup logic, and back up data to target, all independent of each other.
You can now skip tracking object metadata changes. Apart from an object's modification time, NetBackup also checks for changes in the object's tags and user attributes to determine whether the object qualifies for an incremental backup. In those organizations, where metadata changes do not occur after the objects are created, you can use this feature to skip the metadata checks that significantly increases the backup speed. You can configure this setting while creating policies for Cloud object store. See Policy attributes.
You must configure a temporary staging location to use this feature. See Configure a temporary staging location. Step 7.
