Description and reference

Deploy the NetBackup to protect MySQL instances and databases.

On a very high level to protect MySQL instances and databases you need:

  • NetBackup primary server

  • NetBackup media server

  • NetBackup client on MySQL server

(optional) MySQL installed bin directory path should be added to path environment variable.

Verify if MySQL installation bin path is set in environment variable. For Example:

  • For Windows :   PATH = C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin

  • Linux :  export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/mysql
