A convenient way to track the media is to configure the E-Mail global
attribute. When this is done, NetBackup sends an E-mail that indicates the
status of each catalog backup and the media that was used. You can then
print the E-mail or save it on a disk other than the one that has the catalogs.
Media Density
Specifies the media density for Media Manager type media. Click the Density
box to list the densities that Media Manager supports and select the desired
density.
CAUTION !
A NetBackup catalog backup WILL NOT span a tape volume. All
the backup data must fit on one tape. Therefore, it is EXTREMELY important to
choose a media density that can hold all the data to be backed up.
Pathname (Disk Media type)
For disk media, this is the path to the directory where you want to store the
catalog backup. Type the path in the box. For example:
C:\dbbackup
The path must be to a directory on the master server. NetBackup creates the
directory if it does not exist.
Note:
If the path exists and is a file rather than a directory, an error occurs
when the backup is done (NOT when you specify the path).
Schedule Tab
On the Schedule tab, select when you want to automatically back up the
catalogs.
