About Access Appliance as a NetBackup client
Access Appliance is integrated with Veritas NetBackup so that a NetBackup administrator can back up your Access Appliance file systems to NetBackup master or media servers and retain the data as per your company policy. Once data is backed up, a storage administrator can delete unwanted data from Access Appliance. The NetBackup master and media servers that run on separate computers from Access Appliance are licensed separately from Access Appliance.
You configure NetBackup domain information using any one of the following interfaces:
Command-line interface (CLI)
The Veritas Access command-line interface has a dedicated Backup> menu. From the Backup> menu, register the NetBackup client with the NetBackup domain. Information is saved in the
bp.conf
file.GUI
Settings > NetBackup Configuration
See the Online Help for how to configure NetBackup using the GUI.
RESTful APIs
See the Veritas Access RESTful API Guide.
Consolidating storage reduces the administrative overhead of backing up and restoring many separate file systems. Critical file data can be backed up and restored through the NetBackup client on Access Appliance.
If Access Appliance is configured with IPv6 addresses, you have to configure IPv6 support for the NetBackup host as well.
Perform the following steps to configure IPv6 support for the NetBackup host :
Set the IP_ADDRESS_FAMILY option in the
NetBackup bp.conf
file for the host to AF_UNSPEC.# bpsetconfig IP_ADDRESS_FAMILY = AF_UNSPEC
You can view the current setting by executing the bpgetconfig command.
# bpgetconfig IP_ADDRESS_FAMILY = AF_UNSPEC
Restart the services after making this change.
