NetBackup configuration overview

Configuration of NetBackup includes the creation of storage devices, volumes, the catalog backup, and backup policies. This configuration can be completed most easily with the NetBackup Configuration Wizards in the NetBackup Administration Console. Refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I, for more details for instructions on how to perform these steps manually. (See information for configuring NetBackup without wizards.) Refer to Table: Configuring NetBackup before you configure NetBackup.

Table: Configuring NetBackup summarizes the information that applies to each cluster environment.
