Performing a backup or restore of a Veritas Access file system over a NetBackup SAN client
You can perform a backup or restore of a Veritas Access file system over a NetBackup SAN client. A NetBackup SAN client is a NetBackup client for which Fibre Transport services are activated.
Backup and restore operations are done on the NetBackup master server by a NetBackup administrator using the NetBackup Administration Console. If the NetBackup master server can connect to the NetBackup client on Veritas Access, the NetBackup master server starts the backup or restore operations.
Before performing a backup or restoration of a Veritas Access file system over a NetBackup SAN client, do the following:
Verify that the virtual IP address is online.
Verify that the NetBackup client state is online.
Configure the Fibre Transport media server.
See the Veritas NetBackup SAN client and Fibre Transport Guide for more information on configuring the NetBackup Fibre Transport media server.
See the backup(1) man page for detailed examples.
