Veritas NetBackup™ for Enterprise Vault™ Agent Administrator's Guide

Configuration requirements for an Enterprise Vault backup policy

A backup policy for an Enterprise Vault agent defines the backup criteria for a specific group of one or more clients. The criteria includes the following:

  • Storage unit and media to use

  • Policy attributes

  • Backup schedules

  • Clients to be backed up

  • Backup selection

Before you create and run a backup policy, ensure that you set the value for the following items in the Administration Console:

Before you create and run a backup policy, ensure that you set the value for Maximum concurrent jobs and Maximum jobs per client options from the Administration console.

The Maximum concurrent jobs option is available in the Storage Unit Settings dialog box. The value under this option indicates the number of concurrent backup jobs that can use a storage unit and directly affect the performance of the backup. Veritas recommends that you change the value of this setting based on the following:

  • Your Enterprise Vault configurations

  • Policy clients

  • Policy backup selections

  • Capability of the storage unit

The Maximum jobs per client option is available under the master server Host properties (Global Settings). Veritas recommends that you change the value based on your Enterprise Vault configuration and backup selections.

To back up an Enterprise Vault environment, create at least one Enterprise Vault policy with the appropriate schedules. A configuration can have a single policy that includes all clients or many policies, some of which include only one client.
