NetBackup server and client requirements
Verify that the following requirements are met for the NetBackup server:
The NetBackup server software is installed and operational on the NetBackup server.
See the NetBackup Installation Guide.
Make sure that you configure any backup media that the storage unit uses. The number of media volumes that are required depends on several things:
The devices that are used and storage capacity of the media
The sizes of the databases that you want to back up
The amount of data that you want to archive
The size of your backups
The frequency of backups or archives
The length of retention of the backup images
Verify that the following requirements are met for the NetBackup clients:
The NetBackup client software is installed on all SharePoint servers, except the Search server or Job server. In a VMware environment, the NetBackup client software must be installed on the virtual machines that are part of a SharePoint farm.
To use the new features that are included in NetBackup for SharePoint in NetBackup 8.1.1, you must upgrade your NetBackup for SharePoint clients to NetBackup 8.1.1. The NetBackup media server must use the same version as the NetBackup for SharePoint client or a higher version than the client.
