Veritas NetBackup™ OpenStorage Solutions Guide for Disk

About OpenStorage requirements and limitations

The following are the requirements to use the OpenStorage option:

  • A NetBackup OpenStorage option license.

  • Storage that is exposed to NetBackup through a software plug-in that conforms to the Veritas OpenStorage API.

OpenStorage does not support the following:

  • Optimized duplication when a storage unit group is a target of the duplication.

  • Optimized duplication with Auto Image Replication.

  • Clustering of the media servers that function as data movers.

    Multiple data movers inherently provide failover capability. Therefore, clustering for failover is not required.

Information about supported systems is available. See the NetBackup compatibility lists at the following URL:
