Veritas NetBackup™ Cloud Administrator's Guide

Adding backup media servers to your cloud environment

You can add additional media servers to your cloud environment. Additional media servers can help improve backup performance. Such servers are known as data movers. The media servers that you add are assigned the credentials for the storage server. The credentials allow the data movers to communicate with the storage server.

A NetBackup media server must conform to the requirements for cloud storage.

See About the NetBackup media servers for cloud storage.

To add backup media servers to your cloud environment

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Credentials > Storage Servers.
  2. Select the cloud storage server.
  3. From the Edit menu, select Change.
  4. In the Change Storage Server dialog box, select the Media Servers tab.
  5. Select the media server or servers that you want to enable for cloud backup. The media servers that you select are configured as cloud servers.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Modify disk pools, storage units, and policies as desired.
