Veritas NetBackup™ Clustered Master Server Administrator's Guide

Configuring NetBackup catalog backups in a cluster

For complete information on how to configure and run online catalog backups, refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.DOC5332. For information on recovery of the NetBackup catalog, see the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.DOC5332.

Note:

An online catalog backup does not back up information on the inactive nodes. You must create a separate policy as described in the following step.

To configure an online, hot catalog backup in a cluster

  1. Follow the instructions for creating online catalog backups as described in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide

    https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.DOC5332.

  2. Create a policy to back up the following directory on each node in the cluster.

    Windows

    install_path\netbackup\var

    UNIX/Linux

    /usr/openv/var
