NetBackup is now configured for use with the DR Series system. Configuring NetBackup for Optimized Synthetic Backups This procedure describes how to configure NetBackup so that it supports Symantec optimized synthetic backups. Optimized synthetic backups use RDA with OST to share data between images and synthesize the backup directly on the DR Series system without data being read to and written from the backup server. This saves time, expense, and space. The DR Series system supports optimized synthetic backups with NetBackup 7.1 and 7.5. The NetBackup storage server inherits the Optimized Image attribute during storage server configuration (nbdevconfig - creatests). To configure NetBackup to use optimized synthetic backups: 1. Use the following command to add the OptimizedImage flag to each NetBackup storage server that needs to support optimized synthetic backups: nbdevconfig -changests -stype PureDisk -storage_server ss_name -setattribute OptimizedImage For ss_name, make sure to type the name of the storage server as you configured it in NetBackup. 2. Use the following command to add the OptimizedImage flag to each NetBackup disk pool that needs to support optimized synthetic backups: nbdevconfig -changedp -stype PureDisk -dp dp_name -setattribute OptimizedImage For dp_name, make sure to type the name of the disk pool as you configured it in NetBackup. Make sure to add the OptimizedImage flag to the storage server first, and then to the disk pool. 130
