Veritas NetBackup™ for Enterprise Vault™ Agent Administrator's Guide

Open partition, vault store database, and fingerprint database consistencies

To ensure consistency when backing up a fingerprint database, you should add all open partitions of the vault store group and the fingerprint database in the same policy. By grouping these components into a single policy, you can ensure that the specified Vault Stores remain in backup mode until all snapshots are taken or the backup finishes. Configuring a policy in this way also means that the vault stores spend less time in backup mode.

The following is an example of how you would configure a new policy that includes a fingerprint database:

  • EV_OPEN_PARTITION=vs1

  • EV_OPEN_PARTITION=vs2

  • EV_OPEN_PARTITION=vs3

  • EV_FINGERPRINT_DB=vsg1

    Where vsg1 is a vault store group and vs1, vs2, and vs3 are all the vault stores under vsg1.
