Managing NetBackup

6. On the first line of the
ALTPATH
file, specify the path to the directory where
you intend to move the client’s image information. For example:
E:\NetBackup\alternate_db\images\
client_name
This will be the only entry in the
ALTPATH
file.
7. Move all files and directories (except the
ALTPATH
file) that are in the
current client directory to the new directory.
For example, if the images are currently in
C:\VERITAS\NetBackup\db\images\mars
and the
ALTPATH
file specifies
E:\NetBackup\alternate_db\images\mars
then move all files and directories (except the
ALTPATH
file) to
E:\NetBackup\alternate_db\images\mars
8. Add the new image directory to the NetBackup Catalog Backup
configuration (see “Files Tab” on page 184).
In the above example, you would add
E:\NetBackup\alternate_db\images\mars
CAUTION !
Failure to add the alternate image directory to the catalog-backup
configuration can result in loss of backup data if there is a disk failure.
9. Start the NetBackup Request Manager and NetBackup Database Manager
services by using the Services tab in the NetBackup Activity Monitor.
Backups and restores can now resume for the client.
