Notes on Offhost Backup and Frozen Images
54 NetBackup ServerFree Agent System Administrator’s Guide
◆ The Cross mount points class attribute is not available for classes that are
configured for frozen images. This means that NetBackup will not cross file
system boundaries during a backup of a frozen image. A backup of a high-level
file system, such as / (root), will not back up files residing in lower-level file
systems unless those file systems are also specified as separate entries in the file
list. To back up /usr and /var, for instance, both /usr and /var must be
included as separate entries in the file list.
For more information on Cross mount points, refer to the NetBackup DataCenter
System Administrator’s Guide - UNIX.
Frozen Image Method
nbu_snap
The nbu_snap frozen image method is for making copy-on-write snapshot frozen
images (for ufs or VERITAS VxFS file systems).
fsclone
The fsclone frozen image method is for making copy-on-write snapshot frozen
images. VERITAS Database Edition for Oracle 2.2, with VERITAS File System (VxFS)
3.4, must be installed on NetBackup clients. VERITAS recommends that the fsclone
frozen image method only be used with Oracle databases.
◆ The fsclone frozen image method is not supported for backing up raw partitions
(whether FlashBackup or Standard classes).
◆ Make sure there is enough disk space available for the clone. The file system
containing the frozen image source must have at least 5% free space in order to
successfully implement the clone.
vxvm
The vxvm frozen image method is for making mirror frozen images with VERITAS
Volume Manager 3.1 snapshot mirrors.
The vxvm frozen image method works for any file system mounted on a VxVM
volume. However, before the backup is performed, the frozen image source must be
configured with a VxVM 3.1 snapshot mirror (otherwise, the backup will fail). For
help configuring a snapshot mirror, refer to “Creating a Snapshot Mirror of the vxvm
Frozen Image Source” on page 55, or to the VERITAS Volume Manager 3.1
Administrator’s Reference Guide.
Note Since VxVM 3.1 does not support fast mirror resynchronization on RAID-5
volumes, the vxvm frozen image method must not be used with VxVM volumes
configured as RAID-5. If the vxvm frozen image method is selected for a RAID-5
volume, the backup will fail.
