Veritas NetBackup™ Vault Administrator's Guide

Attribute

A filter enabling you to choose which logical attributes you want to use when searching for an image to vault. By default, if the check box is not checked, all criteria in this field are included in the search.

Backup Policies

A list of policies to use to select backup images. Enabled if you select this criteria in the Attribute field, or by default if the Attribute check box is not checked.

To change the backup policies, click Change and then choose the backup policies you want to include in the profile. Policies are based on the storage unit that is used for backups. Because storage units are related to a specific robot number, choose the policies by robotic device.

Backups Started

The period of time from which the profile selects backups relative to the start time of the session.

If the session is started on October 12 at 1:00 P.M., count backward from October 12. The vaulted backups are those started between October 4 at 1:00 P.M. (eight days before) and October 11 at 1:00 P.M. (one day before).

If you select original backup images to send off site, the default time range is between eight days and one day before the session runs. If you duplicate images, the default time range is between seven days and zero days.

Basic disks

A list of basic disk paths, in the form of <server>:<path>. Selecting Basic disks refines your search to those paths that are selected. An image is selected for duplication or vaulting if its primary copy resides in any of the selected basic disk paths.

This option is enabled if you select this criteria in the Location field, or by default if the Location check box is not checked. To change the basic disks, click Change and then choose the basic disks that you want to include in this profile. By default, the Include all basic disks is selected.

An image is selected for duplication or vaulting if its primary copy resides in any of the specified basic disks.

Change

Option used to display a dialog box to change any of the criteria selected in the Attribute or Location fields.

Clients

The clients for which to select backup images. Enabled if you select this criteria in the Attribute field, or by default if the Attribute check box is not checked.

To change the clients, click Change and then choose the clients you want to include in this profile.

Disk pools

A list of disk pools that you can choose search for an image to duplicate or vault. Enabled if you select this criteria in the Location field, or by default if the Location check box is not checked. To change the disk pools, click Change and then choose disk pools that you want to include in this profile. By default, the Include all disk pools is selected.

An image is selected for duplication or vaulting if its primary copy resides in any of the specified disk pools.

Location

A filter enabling you to choose which physical location you want to search for an image to vault. By default, if the check box is not checked, all criteria in this field are included in the search.

Media servers

The media servers from which to select backup images. This option is enabled if you select this criteria in the Attribute field, or by default if the Attribute check box is not checked. (Applies to NetBackup Enterprise Server only.) An image is selected for duplication or vaulting if the media server of the primary copy matches any of the values selected in the list.

To change the media servers, click Change and then choose the media servers you want to include in this profile.

Retention levels

A list of retention levels that you can use to further refine your search criteria. An image is selected for duplication or vaulting if the retention level of the primary copy matches any of the values selected in the list.

Enabled if you select this criteria in the Attribute field, or by default if the Attribute check box is not checked.

To change the retention level, click Change and then choose the level or levels that you want to include in this profile. By default, the Include all retention levels is selected.

Schedules

A list of schedules to use to select backups. Enabled if you select this criteria in the Attribute field, or by default if the Attribute check box is not checked.

To change the default, click Change and then choose the schedules you want to include in this profile. Schedules are based on the storage unit used for backups. Because storage units are related to a specific robot number, choose the schedules by robotic device.

Source Volume Groups

This selection criterion contains a list of Volume Groups from which to select backup images. Enabled if you select this criteria in the Location field, or by default if the Location check box is not checked. To change the default, click Change and then choose the volume groups you want to include in this profile.

Selecting Source Volume Groups restricts the search for images to those in either all volume groups or the specific volume groups that you choose to include in your search. Usually, a Source Volume Group is specified if your master server has access to multiple robots and you want to duplicate the images that reside on media in one robot to media in another robot. The images that are read are in the Source Volume Group in one robot. The images are written to media in the Robotic Volume Group in another robot.

An image is selected for duplication or vaulting if any fragment of its primary copy is found in a media that is from any of the selected volume groups.

Backup Types

The types of backups (full, incremental, and so on) the profile captures. Enabled if you select this criteria in the Attribute field, or by default if the Attribute check box is not checked.

To change the default, click Change and then choose the backup types you want to include in this profile. Depending on the different types of backups you configured in NetBackup policy management, you can choose the backup type. Only those types for which you configured policies are available for selection. If you want to vault all types of backups, accept the default. This criterion is optional.

Volume pools

A list of volume pools that you can choose to include in your search for an image to duplicate or vault. Enabled if you select this criteria in the Location field, or by default if the Location check box is not checked. To change the volume pools, click Change and then choose the volume pool or pools that you want to include in this profile. By default, the Include all Volume pools option is selected. To change the default, click Change and then choose the volume pools you want to include in this profile.

Selecting Volume pools restricts the search for images to those in either all volume pools or just the volume pools that you choose to include in your search. An image is selected for duplication or vaulting if any fragment of its primary copy is found in a media that is from any of the selected volume pools.
