NetBackup™ Release Notes

You can find documentation for the NetBackup APIs in on SORT and on your primary server. Make sure to review the Versioning topic and the What's New topic in the Getting Started section.

• On your primary server:

  APIs are stored in YAML files on the primary server:

  https://<primary_server>/api-docs/index.html

  The APIs are documented in Swagger format. This format lets you review the code and test the functionality by making actual calls with the APIs. You must have the appropriate security permissions to access the primary server and APIs to use the Swagger APIs.

  Caution:

  Veritas recommends that you test APIs only in a development environment. Because you can make actual API calls from the Swagger files, you should not test the APIs in a production environment.

• On SORT:

  NetBackup API documentation is also available on SORT:

  HOME > KNOWLEDGE BASE > Documents > Product Version > 10.0

  Look under API Reference. A Getting Started document provides background information about using NetBackup APIs. The API YAML files are also available for reference, however, they are not functional. You cannot test the APIs from the documents on SORT.
