Running a session from the NetBackup Administration Console

To run a Vault session from the NetBackup Administration Console, you either run the policy manually or run the profile manually.

To run a Vault policy

  1. Expand NetBackup Management > Policies in the left pane of the Administration Console window.

  2. Select the policy you want to run.

  3. Select Actions > Manual Backup.

To run a Vault profile

  1. Expand Vault Management in the left pane of the Administration Console window.

  2. In the left pane, expand the robot that contains the vault and profile you want to run.

  3. In the left pane, select the vault that you want to run.

  4. In the details (right) pan, click the profile that you want to run.

  5. Select Actions > Start Session.

    Start Session remains selected until the session begins. When the session starts, the Console displays a message similar to the following:

    Manual vault session for profile has been started.
Use the Activity Monitor to view progress.

    By default, the Details Pane of the Administration Console window does not show the Volume Pools (Ejected) and Report Destination columns. You can add, delete, or rearrange the columns that appears in the Details Pane by selecting View > Columns > Layout.
