Disk storage unit considerations

NetBackup permits the creation of an unlimited number of disk storage units.

Disk media can be one of the following disk types:

BasicDisk

See BasicDisk storage units.
AdvancedDisk

See AdvancedDisk storage units.
NearStore

See NearStore storage units.
OpenStorage

See OpenStorage storage units.
PureDisk

See PureDisk storage units.
SnapVault

See SnapVault storage units.

Not all settings are available on each disk storage unit type.

Note:

Symantec recommends that quotas are not imposed on any file systems that NetBackup uses for disk storage units. Some NetBackup features may not work properly when file systems have quotas in place. (For example, the capacity-managed retention selection in lifecycles and staging to storage units.)
