Veritas NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Configuring MSDP replication to a different NetBackup domain

Table: NetBackup MSDP replication configuration tasks describes the tasks that are required to replicate backup images from one Media Server Deduplication Pool to another in a different NetBackup domain.

Optionally, you can use a separate network for the optimized duplication traffic.

See About a separate network path for MSDP duplication and replication.

Table: NetBackup MSDP replication configuration tasks

Step

Task

Procedure

Step 1

Learn about MSDP replication

See About MSDP replication to a different domain.

See About NetBackup Auto Image Replication.

Step 2

Determine if you need to configure a trust relationship with the target NetBackup domain

A trust relationship is optional.

See About trusted master servers for Auto Image Replication.

Step 3

Add the remote storage server as a replication target

See Configuring a target for MSDP replication to a remote domain.

See Viewing the replication topology for Auto Image Replication.

Step 4

Configure a storage lifecycle policy

The following are the options when you configure the SLP operations:

  • If you configured a trust relationship with the target domains, you can specify one of the following options:

    • All replication target storage servers (across different NetBackup domains)

      NetBackup automatically creates an import SLP in the target domain when the replication job runs.

    • A specific Master Server. If you choose this option, you then select Target master server and Target import SLP.

      You must create an import SLP in the target domain before you configure an SLP in the source domain.

  • If you did not configure a trust relationship with the target domains, All replication target storage servers (across different NetBackup domains) is selected by default. You cannot choose a specific target storage server.

    NetBackup automatically creates an import SLP in the target domain when the replication job runs.

See About storage lifecycle policies.

See About the storage lifecycle policies required for Auto Image Replication.

See Creating a storage lifecycle policy.

Step 5

Configure replication bandwidth

Optionally, you can configure the bandwidth for replication.

See About configuring MSDP optimized duplication and replication bandwidth.
