NetBackup CloudCatalyst harnesses Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) technology to upload deduplicated data to the cloud. By deduplicating the data, customers realize a cost savings both when sending, and then when storing, the data in the cloud.
CloudCatalyst is offered on the following hosts:
A Veritas NetBackup CloudCatalyst appliance.
A NetBackup 8.1 media server that is configured as a CloudCatalyst storage server. The media server must be Red Hat Enterprise Linux, 7.3 or later.
CloudCatalyst configuration is described in the NetBackup Deduplication Guide.
The object size for Amazon (S3) and Amazon GovCloud storage servers has changed. This change affects the valid range for the read and write buffer size for these cloud storage servers.
You must update the read and write buffer size values for pre-NetBackup 8.1 servers using the NetBackup Administration Console on the master server. Update these settings for each cloud storage server that is associated with a media server.See About object size for cloud storage.
For procedures on how to update the read or write buffer size, see the NetBackup Upgrade Guide.
