Disaster recovery packages
For increased security, a disaster recovery package is created during each catalog backup. The disaster recovery package file has .drpkg extension.
The disaster recovery package stores the identity of the master server host. NetBackup requires this package to get the identity of the master server back after a disaster. Once you have recovered the host identity, you can perform the catalog recovery.
The disaster recovery package contains the following information:
NetBackup CA-signed certificates and private keys of the master server certificate and the NetBackup certificate authority (CA) certificate
Information about the hosts in the domain
Security settings
Note:
You must set a passphrase for the disaster recovery package for the catalog backups to be successful.
