Guidelines for enabling NetBackup change journal support

The following items are guidelines to consider for enabling NetBackup change journal support:

  • Change journal support is not offered for user-directed backups. The USN stamps for full and incremental backups in the permanent record do not change.

  • NetBackup support for change journal works with checkpoint restart for restores.

    See Checkpoint restart for restore jobs.

  • Support for change journal is not offered with several NetBackup options or Veritas products.

    If Use change journal is enabled, it has no effect while you use the following options or products:

    • True image restore (TIR) or True image restore with Move Detection

      See Collect true image restore information (policy attribute) with and without move detection.

    • Synthetic backups

      See About synthetic backups.

    • Bare Metal Restore (BMR)

      For more information, see the NetBackup Bare Metal Restore Administrator's Guide.
