About the data directory
The following directory is the default location of the NetBackup database, NBDB:
On Windows: install_path\Veritas\NetBackupDB\data
On UNIX: /usr/openv/db/data
NBDB includes the following files:
NBDB.db
The main NetBackup database file; considered a dbspace.
NBDB.log
The transaction log for the NetBackup database, necessary for recovery. NBDB.log is automatically truncated after a successful full or incremental catalog backup of the SQL Anywhere database.
JOBD_DATA.db
An additional dbspace that contains job records data.
NBAZDB.db
The NetBackup Authorization database is present whether or not NetBackup Access Control (NBAC) is configured and used.
EMM_DATA.db
An additional dbspace that contains EMM data.
EMM_INDEX.db
The file that enhances the EMM database performance.
SEARCH_DATA.db
Contains the metadata that is created while placing holds on backup images.
SEARCH_INDEX.db
The file that contains the indexes that are created in the SEARCH_DATA tables.
SLP_DATA.db
Contains the run-time information for storage lifecycle policies.
SLP_INDEX.db
The file that contains the indexes that are created in the SLP_DATA tables.
vxdbms.conf
The file that contains the configuration information specific to the Sybase SQL Anywhere installation:
On Windows:
VXDBMS_NB_SERVER = NB_server_name VXDBMS_NB_PORT = 13785 VXDBMS_NB_DATABASE = NBDB VXDBMS_BMR_DATABASE = BMRDB VXDBMS_AZ_DATABASE = NBAZDB VXDBMS_NB_DATA = C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackupDB\data VXDBMS_NB_INDEX = C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackupDB\data VXDBMS_NB_TLOG = C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackupDB\data VXDBMS_NB_PASSWORD = encrypted_password AZ_DB_PASSWORD = encrypted_password VXDBMS_ODBC_DRIVER = NB SQL Anywhere
On UNIX:
VXDBMS_NB_SERVER = NB_server_name VXDBMS_NB_PORT = 13785 VXDBMS_NB_DATABASE = NBDB VXDBMS_AZ_DATABASE = NBAZDB VXDBMS_BMR_DATABASE = BMRDB VXDBMS_NB_DATA = /usr/openv/db/data VXDBMS_NB_INDEX = /usr/openv/db/data VXDBMS_NB_TLOG = /usr/openv/db/data VXDBMS_NB_STAGING = /usr/openv/db/staging VXDBMS_NB_PASSWORD = encrypted_password AZ_NB_PASSWORD = encrypted_password
The encrypted password that is used to log into the DBA accounts for NBDB, NBAZDB, and BMRDB, and other data accounts is stored in vxdbms.conf.
The password is set to a randomly generated password upon installation. Use the nbdb_admin command to change it to a known password if you have not done so already.
If BMR is installed, the directory also contains: BMRDB.db, BMRDB.log (transaction log for BMR), BMR_DATA.db, BMR_INDEX.db
