Backing Up the NetVault Database Directory
This section details the use of the NetVault Database plug-in and offers various tips
for its use.
Backup Recommendations
It is important to note that the NetVault Database can be backed up at any time as
long as no other NetVault jobs controlled by this server are running. With this in
mind, the following points are recommended when backing up the NetVault
Database:
•
Perform Regular Backups —
The data contained in the NetVault Database is
integral to NetVault operations, but it also frequently changes as NetVault
functions; therefore, it is recommended that frequent, regular backups of the
NetVault Database be performed (e.g., daily, once all other backups have
completed).
•
Target Specific Media for a NetVault Database Backup —
In the event that the
NetVault Database needs to be recovered, the specific piece of media targeted can
be easily located to perform the recovery.
To Back up the NVDB Directory
1
From the NetVault Server (either locally or remotely), open the NetVault Backup
window by clicking the
Backup
button on the command toolbar. The NetVault
Backup window displays the list of available clients in the Selections tab.
2
Right-click the NetVault Server (acting as a client to itself) and select
Open
from
the pop-up menu.
3
The available plug-ins will be displayed. Right-click the NetVault Database Plug-
in and select
Open
from the pop-up menu that appears.
4
A single selectable item will be revealed: the NetVault Database. Select the check
box to the left of this item.
Note
There are no Backup Options available for use with this plug-in.
5
The remaining tab selections (Schedule, Target Advanced Options) contain
additional options that can be set as desired.

Enter a suitable name for the job in the Job Title box and start the backup job by
clicking the
Submit
button on the command toolbar.
Note
Only clients successfully added via the NetVault Client Management
window will display.
