Name

Enter the name of the schedule. Use a name that identifies it as a Vault catalog backup schedule.

Type of backup

Select Vault Catalog Backup.

Multiple copies

To create multiple copies of the catalog, select Multiple copies, click Configure, and then select the appropriate attributes for each copy in the Configure Multiple Copies dialog box.

The Configure Multiple Copies dialog box appears only if you select the Multiple Copies check box on the NetBackup Catalog Policy's Schedule Attributes tab, and then click Configure.

Override policy storage unit

Select this option and then select the storage unit to use from the drop-down list.

Override policy volume pool

If the storage unit is on removable media, select this option. Then select the volume pool for off-site catalog backups (does not apply to disk storage units). If you use Media Manager storage units, use a dedicated off-site volume pool for Vault catalogs.

Retention

Select the length of time before the catalog backup expires and the volumes are recalled from the off-site vault.

After the Retention has passed, catalog backup media appear on the Picking List for Vault or Distribution List for Robot. Vault recalls that media so it is available to reuse as catalog backup media.

Copies

Select or enter the number of copies to create concurrently. You can create up to four or the number of copies that are specified in the Maximum Backup Copies field for the NetBackup master server (if less than four). (Configured in NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Server > server_name > Global NetBackup Attributes.) By default, the value is two: one original backup and one copy.

If This Copy Fails

The action to perform if a copy fails is Continue or Fail All Copies.

If you choose Fail All Copies, the entire backup job fails and no copies are made. NetBackup automatically retries the job if time permits. The next time the backup window for the policy opens, NetBackup tries again to run the backup (regardless of the frequency of the schedule). NetBackup tries until the backup succeeds, although one or more backup windows may pass before the backup is successful.

Priority of Duplication Job

Specify the priority of the duplication jobs for the catalog copies, from 0 (lowest) to 99,999 (highest) priority. The job for each copy runs using this priority.

Retention

Select the length of time before the catalog backup expires and the volumes are recalled from the off-site vault.

After the Retention passes, catalog backup media appears on the Picking List for Vault or Distribution List for Robot. Vault recalls that media so it is available to reuse as catalog backup media.

Storage Unit

Select the storage unit that contains the resources to which the catalog backup is written.

Volume Pool

If the storage unit is on removable media, select the volume pool for off-site catalog backups (does not apply to disk storage units). If you use Media Manager storage units, use a dedicated off-site volume pool for Vault catalogs.
