Backing Up the NetVault for GuardianOS NVDB Directory
This section details the use of the NetVault Database plug-in and offers various tips
for its use.
Backup Recommendations
It is important to note that the NetVault Database can be backed up at any time as
long as no other NetVault jobs controlled by this server are running. With this in
mind, the following points are recommended when backing up the NetVault
Database:
• Perform Regular Backups —
The data contained in the NetVault Database is
integral to NetVault operations, but it also frequently changes as NetVault
functions; therefore, it is recommended that frequent, regular backups of the
NetVault Database be performed (e.g., daily, once all other backups have
completed).
• Target Specific Media for a NetVault Database Backup —
In the event that the
NetVault Database needs to be recovered, the specific piece of media targeted can
be easily located to perform the recovery.

From the NetVault Server (either locally or remotely), open the NetVault Backup
