The Catalog Backup Wizard guides you through the configuration process for creating a catalog backup.

Catalog backups are required for NetBackup to protect NetBackup internal databases. The catalogs contain setup information as well as critical information about client backups. Catalog backups are tracked separately from other backups to ensure recovery in case of a server crash.

The wizard simplifies setting up a catalog backup by choosing the settings that work for most configurations. If you need to modify an existing catalog configuration or want access to all available configuration settings, configure the catalog backup manually.
