Veritas NetBackup™ for Enterprise Vault™ Agent Administrator's Guide

Understand the following items for useful tips about the Enterprise Vault agent:

• You should run an Enterprise Vault backup when there is no configuration change happening for Enterprise Vault.

  An Enterprise Vault configuration can change automatically like an Enterprise Vault partition roll-over. That can change the state of some partitions (open to closed and ready to open). As part of Enterprise Vault backup, NetBackup queries Enterprise Vault for its configuration. That happens in the first job (known as the discovery job) of the compound backup job.

  If an Enterprise Vault configuration change and NetBackup's discovery job happens at the same time then any one of the following can occur:

  • Fail with a status code 2

  • Partially succeed with a status code 1 (Some Enterprise Vault objects may not be backed up.)

  • Success without any error (Some Enterprise Vault objects may not be backed up.)

• Across multiple Enterprise Vault sites, Enterprise Vault enables you to configure multiple Enterprise Vault vault store groups or vault stores with the same name. However, NetBackup does not support multiple vault store groups or multiple vault store configurations with the same name across Enterprise Vault sites. In addition, NetBackup does not support these types of configurations within the same Enterprise Vault site. If you attempt this type of configuration using the NetBackup Enterprise Vault agent, you can encounter unexpected behavior from the agent that can cause a data loss.
