About the NetBackup relational database on Windows

As part of the catalog backup, the database and the configuration files for the NBDB database (including the NetBackup Authorization database, NBAZDB) and the BMRDB databases are protected as follows:

  • Database files:

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\BMR_DATA.db (if BMR is installed)

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\BMRDB.db (if BMR is installed)

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\BMRDB.log (if BMR is installed)

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\BMR_INDEX.db (if BMR is installed)

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\DARS_DATA.db

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\DARS_INDEX.db

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\DBM_DATA.db

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\DBM_INDEX.db

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\EMM_DATA.db

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\EMM_INDEX.db

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\JOBD_DATA.db

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\NBAZDB.db

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\NBAZDB.db.template

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\NBAZDB.log

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\NBDB.db

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\NBDB.log

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\SEARCH_DATA.db

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\SEARCH_INDEX.db

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\SLP_DATA.db

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\SLP_INDEX.db

    Note:

    NetBackup does not support saving the NetBackup relational database (NBDB, including NBAZDB and EMM) or the configuration files to a remote NFS share. CIFS is supported on some SAN or NAS storage.

    See Parts of the NetBackup catalog.

  • Configuration files:

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\data\vxdbms.conf

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\conf\server.conf

    • install_path\NetBackupDB\conf\databases.conf

    Note:

    The catalog backup process copies this data to install_path\NetBackupDB\staging and backs up the copy.
