Backing Up the NetVault Database Directory

This section details the use of the NetVault Database plug-in and offers various tips

for its use.

Backup Recommendations

It is important to note that the NetVault Database can be backed up at any time as

long as no other NetVault jobs controlled by this server are running. With this in

mind, the following points are recommended when backing up the NetVault

Database:

•Perform Regular Backups — The data contained in the NetVault Database is

integral to NetVault operations, but it also frequently changes as NetVault

functions; therefore, it is recommended that frequent, regular backups of the

NetVault Database be performed (e.g., daily, once all other backups have

completed).

• Target Specific Media for a NetVault Database Backup — In the event that the

NetVault Database needs to be recovered, the specific piece of media targeted can

be easily located to perform the recovery.

To Back up the NVDB Directory

1 From the NetVault Server (either locally or remotely), open the NetVault Backup

window by clicking the

Backup button on the command toolbar. The NetVault

Backup window displays the list of available clients in the Selections tab.

2 Right-click the NetVault Server (acting as a client to itself) and select Open from

the pop-up menu.

3 The available plug-ins will be displayed. Right-click the NetVault Database Plug-

in and select

Open from the pop-up menu that appears.

4 A single selectable item will be revealed: the NetVault Database. Select the check

box to the left of this item.

Note There are no Backup Options available for use with this plug-in.

5 The remaining tab selections (Schedule, Target Advanced Options) contain

additional options that can be set as desired.

6 Enter a suitable name for the job in the Job Title box and start the backup job by

clicking the

Submit button on the command toolbar.

Note Only clients successfully added via the NetVault Client Management

window will display.
