Description
|
Name
|
Enter the name of the schedule. Use a name that identifies it as
a Vault catalog backup schedule.
|
Type of backup
|
Select Vault Catalog Backup.
|
Multiple copies
|
To create multiple copies of the catalog, select Multiple
copies, click Configure, and then select the appropriate attributes
for each copy in the Configure Multiple Copies dialog box.
The Configure Multiple Copies
dialog box appears only if you select the checkbox on the NetBackup
Catalog Policy's Schedule Attributes
tab, and then click .
|
Override policy storage unit
|
Select this option and then select the storage unit to use from
the drop-down list.
|
Override policy volume pool
|
If the storage unit is on removable media, select this option.
Then select the volume pool for offsite catalog backups (does not
apply to disk storage units). If you are using Media Manager
storage units, use a dedicated offsite volume pool for Vault
catalogs.
|
Retention
|
Select the length of time before the catalog backup expires and
the volumes are recalled from the offsite vault.
After the Retention has passed, catalog backup media appear on
the Picking List for Vault or Distribution List for Robot. Vault
recalls that media so it is available to reuse as catalog backup
media.

The Configure Multiple
Copies dialog box appears only if you select the Multiple Copies
checkbox on an NBU Catalog policy Schedule Attributes tab and then
click Configure.
Use this dialog box to
create multiple copies of a Vault catalog backup. For Media Manager
storage units, all storage units must be connected to the same
media server.

Description
|
Copies
|
Select or enter the number of copies to create concurrently. You
can create up to four or the number of copies specified in the
Maximum Backup Copies field for the NetBackup master server (if
less than four). (Configured in NetBackup Management > Host
Properties > Master Server > server_name > Global
NetBackup Attributes.) By default, the value is two: one original
backup and one copy.
|
If This Copy Fails
|
The action to perform if a copy fails is, Continue or Fail All
Copies.
If you choose Fail All Copies, the entire backup job fails and
no copies are made. NetBackup automatically retries the job if time
permits and, the next time the backup window for the policy opens,
NetBackup tries again to run the backup (regardless of the
frequency of the schedule). NetBackup does this until the backup
succeeds, although one or more backup windows may pass before the
backup is successful.
|
Priority of Duplication Job
|
Specify the priority of the duplication jobs for the catalog
copies, from 0 (lowest) to 99,999 (highest) priority. The job for
each copy runs using this priority.
|
Retention
|
Select the length of time before the catalog backup expires and
the volumes are recalled from the offsite vault.
After the Retention passes, catalog backup media appears on the
Picking List for Vault or Distribution List for Robot. Vault
recalls that media so it is available to reuse as catalog backup
media.
|
Storage Unit
|
Select the storage unit that contains the resources to which the
catalog backup is written.
|
Volume Pool
|
If the storage unit is on removable media, select the volume
pool for offsite catalog backups (does not apply to disk storage
units). If you are using Media Manager storage units, use a
dedicated offsite volume pool for Vault catalogs.
