Library sharing between NetBackup and NDMP Hosts

NetBackup can share a tape library between the NetBackup server and one or more NDMP NAS servers, or just between the
NDMP NAS servers themselves. For more information, see the “Media Manager Library Sharing” section.

EMC Symmetrix Split Mirror Backups

VERITAS NetBackup directly backs up EMC Symmetrix disk arrays using the EMC Timefinder API to provide data
synchronization and 3rd-mirror break-off. The NetBackup server attaches directly to the EMC Symmetrix array (SCSI or fibre
connection), detaches the 3rd mirror and backs it up offline while the host application continues to run unaffected.
NetBackup utilizes the EMC Timefinder API to manage the break-off of the mirror before the backup starts and re-attach or
synchronize the 3rd mirror once the backup is complete. Initially, only Oracle database backups on raw partitions are
supported. Other application support on EMC arrays is planned for future releases. To customize backup support for other
applications in the interim, please contact VERITAS Enterprise Consulting Services.

Figure 11: NetBackup split mirror backup for EMC Symmetrix arrays.

See the Split Mirror Backup section in the

VERITAS NetBackup for EMC Administrator’s Guide

for more details.

Andrew File System (AFS) Backups

Andrew File System (AFS) volume level backup and restore is supported in NetBackup. NetBackup utilizes the AFS
“VOSdump” and “VOSrestore” utilities to implement the backup and restore operations. Both full and incremental AFS
backup operations are supported.

AFS is supported on the Solaris and HP-UX clients. Other platforms may be added in future releases. File-level AFS backups
are not currently supported.
