Do you support the automatic scheduling of cleaning cartridges in robotic peripherals?
Media Manager not only supports automatic cleaning schedules in robotic tape peripherals but also tracks cleaning and
usage information for devices that do not have mountable cleaning cartridges.
How does VERITAS NetBackup provide easy verification of backup success?
Optional e-mail notification is available to both the administrator and individual client users citing backup successes and
failures. In addition, reports are available that list the backup status of all clients and list all backed up files available for
restoration. Either of these reports can be limited to a particular client and date range. Daily summary reports are also
available. In addition, the administrator can use the media verification option to compare media contents to what is
recorded in the VERITAS NetBackup database.
How is standard UNIX security maintained for backups, restores, and database browsing?
VERITAS NetBackup provides UNIX-level security for files during backup, list, and restore operations. In addition, the
owner, group, and permission attributes are maintained in the backups so it is available to be properly reset during a
restore.
In addition, client data security is enhanced if VERITAS NetBackup is installed on secure clients that are not required to
trust the server to log in as root.
Can VERITAS NetBackup restore files to any machine regardless of original machine name or IP address (in case
the original machine no longer exists)?
It is possible to restore files to alternate clients with VERITAS NetBackup. An administrative action is necessary to allow this
to happen, and the client user doing the restoration must identify the client from which the data was originally backed up.
Can VERITAS NetBackup be integrated with a file migration product?
VERITAS Storage Migrator is a separate VERITAS product that you can integrate with VERITAS NetBackup. This product
manages server disk space by migrating data to secondary storage while still providing transparent access to files.
How is media handled if file backup and file migration are integrated?
Both VERITAS NetBackup and the VERITAS hierarchical storage management products use Media Manager as their media
management utility. This provides a common interface across all peripheral devices, whether cartridge tape or optical disk,
and enables other programs and applications to share these devices.
Does VERITAS NetBackup support permanent logging of error messages?
VERITAS NetBackup maintains a history of error messages in its error database. The default value is 28 days, but the
administrator may modify this to provide a permanent record of the error message log.
Can you generate catalog information about your backups from the backup media itself?
Yes, there are two ways to do this. If the administrator follows the recommended procedures for backing up the
NetBackup catalogs, the information contained is easily restored by using the VERITAS NetBackup
bprecover command. If
for some reason these procedures are not followed, recovery takes longer but can be done by importing the media
containing the database backups.
