Verify that the following requirements are met for the NetBackup server and client software:

• The NetBackup server software is installed and operational on the NetBackup server. The NetBackup server platform can be any that NetBackup supports.

  See the NetBackup Installation Guide.

• The NetBackup client software is installed on all SharePoint servers, with two exceptions. The client software does not need to be installed on the Search or Job servers.

• If you want to take advantage of any new features that are included in NetBackup for SharePoint Server in NetBackup 7.0.1, you must upgrade your NetBackup for SharePoint Server clients. The media server and NetBackup for SharePoint Server clients must be at the same NetBackup version.

• Make sure that you configure any backup media that the storage unit uses.

  The number of media volumes that are required depends on several things:

  • The devices used

  • The sizes of the databases that you want to back up

  • The amount of data that you want to archive

  • The size of your backups

  • The frequency of backups or archives

  See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
