Testing configuration settings

After you configure the master server for NetBackup for SharePoint Server, test the configuration settings. Perform a manual backup (or backups) with the automatic backup schedules you created. A description of status codes and other troubleshooting information is available.

See the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.

To test the configuration settings

  1. Log onto the master server as administrator.

  2. Start the NetBackup Administration Console.

  3. In the left pane, click Policies.

  4. Click the policy you want to test.

  5. Select Actions > Manual Backup.

    The Schedules pane contains the name of an automatic schedule (or schedules) configured for the policy that you want to test. The Clients pane contains the name of the client(s) listed in the policy that you want to test.

  6. Follow the directions in the Manual Backup dialog box.

  7. To check the status of the backup, click Activity Monitor in the NetBackup Administration Console.

    A parent job contains the whole file list and one or more child jobs. A child job is automatically launched for each host that contains SharePoint data. For example, assume that a SharePoint farm consists of four separate hosts. In this case, one parent job and four child jobs appear in the Activity Monitor. The front-end Web server is listed as the client name for all jobs.
