NearStore storage units

A NearStore disk type storage unit is used to store images on Network Attached Storage (NAS) from NetApp. NearStore appears as a selection only when the OpenStorage Disk Option is licensed.

For NearStore, the NetBackup media servers function as the data movers. The NearStore host is the storage server.

Note:

NearStore storage units cannot be used as part of a storage unit group or used in a storage lifecycle policy.

Information about configuring NearStore storage units is described in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume II.
