Disk Requirements for Offhost Backup
For offhost backups (NetBackup Media Server or Third-Party Copy Device offhost
backup method), the client’s data must be on one or more disks that meet the following
criteria:
◆ The disk must be either a SCSI or Fibre Channel device.
◆ The disk must be visible to both the NetBackup client and to the NetBackup media
server. The disk must be connected through a fibre channel SAN or through a disk
array that has dual port SCSI connections.
◆ The disk must be able to return its SCSI serial number in response to a serial-number
inquiry (serialization), or the disk must support SCSI Inquiry Page Code 83.
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES
The policy’s file list must not contain the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES entry if you are using
offhost backup (NetBackup Media Server or Third-Party Copy Device offhost backup
method).
Multiplexing
The Third-Party Copy Device backup method is incompatible with multiplexing (the
writing of two or more concurrent backup jobs to the same storage device). To prevent
multiplexing on a third-party copy backup, you must set Maximum multiplexing per
drive to 1 (on the “Add New Storage Unit” or “Change Storage Unit” dialog).
Raw Partition Offhost Backups
When entering a raw partition in the file list for an offhost backup, do not specify a block
device as the raw partition. NetBackup 4.5 does not support offhost backups of block
devices. Instead, specify the raw partition as a character device.
