NetBackup server and client requirements

Verify that the following requirements are met for the NetBackup server:

  • The NetBackup server software is installed and operational on the NetBackup server.

    See the NetBackup Installation Guide.

  • Make sure that you configure any backup media that the storage unit uses. The number of media volumes that are required depends on several things:

    • The devices that are used and storage capacity of the media

    • The sizes of the databases that you want to back up

    • The amount of data that you want to archive

    • The size of your backups

    • The frequency of backups or archives

    • The length of retention of the backup images

    See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.

Verify that the following requirements are met for the NetBackup clients:

  • The NetBackup client software is installed on the computer that has the databases you want to back up.

  • To use the new features that are included in NetBackup for Domino in NetBackup 9.1, you must upgrade your NetBackup for Domino clients to NetBackup 9.1. The NetBackup media server must use the same version as the NetBackup for Domino client or a higher version than the client.
