Catalog backup The information about the backup is stored in a database held on the Master Server; this is known as the catalog and must be regularly backed up to ensure recovery. Netbackup 7 introduced the ability to perform 'hot' catalog backups. This means that the database can be backed up in an open state which effectively permits backup any time. (Note that 'cold' catalog backups are not permitted under NetBackup 7) Catalog backups are configured using a wizard. 1. Click on the icon labeled Configure the catalog backup from the NetBackup Administration Console. The first screen will request a name for the catalog backup policy as shown below. 2. Click Next and the catalog backup policy screen is displayed. This screen is used to specify full or incremental backup. (Remember catalog backup can be large in enterprise class configurations.) 3. The next two screens specify the rotation policy and backup window exactly as in a normal file backup. 4. The next screen is very important and is used to specify the location of the catalog disaster recovery file that is vital for catalog recovery. This file can be stored on the D2D or another disk media attached to the media server but it needs to be stored offsite along with the catalog backup. (Note: both DR File AND Catalog backup are required for recovery). Creating a backup policy 25

Catalog backup
The information about the backup is stored in a database held on the Master Server; this is known
as the catalog and must be regularly backed up to ensure recovery. Netbackup 7 introduced the
ability to perform ‘hot’ catalog backups. This means that the database can be backed up in an
open state which effectively permits backup any time. (Note that ‘cold' catalog backups are not
permitted under NetBackup 7)
Catalog backups are configured using a wizard.

Click on the icon labeled
Configure the catalog backup
from the NetBackup Administration
Console. The first screen will request a name for the catalog backup policy as shown below.
2.
Click

and the catalog backup policy screen is displayed. This screen is used to specify
full or incremental backup. (Remember catalog backup can be large in enterprise class
configurations.)
3.
The next two screens specify the rotation policy and backup window exactly as in a normal
file backup.
4.
The next screen is very important and is used to specify the location of the catalog disaster
recovery file that is vital for catalog recovery. This file can be stored on the D2D or another
disk media attached to the media server but it needs to be stored offsite along with the catalog
backup. (Note: both DR File
AND
Catalog backup are required for recovery).
