NetBackup™ Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide

About tuning the data transfer path

This chapter contains information on ways to optimize NetBackup. This chapter is not intended to provide tuning advice for particular systems. For help fine-tuning your NetBackup installation, please contact Veritas Consulting Services.

Before trying particular tuning steps, consider the following:

  • Ensure that your system meets NetBackup's recommended minimum requirements

    Refer to the NetBackup Installation Guide and NetBackup Release Notes for information about these requirements. For better performance, follow the best practices as specified in Chapter 2 and 3.

  • Ensure that you have the most recent NetBackup software patch installed

  • Know your hardware

    Many performance issues can be traced to hardware or other environmental issues. You must understand the entire data transfer path to determine the maximum obtainable performance in your environment. Poor performance is often the result of poor planning, which results from unrealistic expectations of components of the transfer path.

    More information about NetBackup server configuration is available:
