Veritas NetBackup™ Cloud Administrator's Guide

Media Server Name

Select a NetBackup media server from the drop-down lis5.

Only the media servers that conform to the requirements for cloud storage appear in the drop-down list. The requirements are described in the following topic:

See About the NetBackup media servers for cloud storage.

The host that you select queries the storage vendor's network for its capabilities and for the available storage. The media server also becomes a data mover for your backups and restores.

Deduplication

Enabling this option creates a CloudCatalyst storage server that can be used to upload deduplicated data to the cloud.

See the NetBackup compatibility lists for support information:

http://www.netbackup.com/compatibility

For information about CloudCatalyst, see the NetBackup Deduplication Guide:

http://www.veritas.com/docs/DOC5332

Local cache directory

Enter the mount path to be used as the storage path on the CloudCatalyst storage server.

For example: /space/mnt/esfs

The deduplicated data is written to this local cache directory before it is uploaded to the cloud. The larger the cache, the more likely that NetBackup can service requests locally, avoiding cloud access to read and write.
