About the Storage utility
The data that is generated from a NetBackup job is recorded into a type of storage that NetBackup recognizes.
NetBackup recognizes the following storage configurations, all of which are configured in the Storage utility:
A storage unit is a label that NetBackup associates with physical storage. The label can identify a robot, a path to a volume, or a disk pool. Storage units can be included as part of a storage unit group or a storage lifecycle policy.
Storage unit groups let you identify multiple storage units as belonging to a single group. The NetBackup administrator configures how the storage units are selected within the group when a backup or a snapshot job runs.
See About storage unit groups .
Storage lifecycle policies let the administrator create a storage plan for all of the data in a backup or snapshot.
