Justin, We do multi-tape catalog backups everyday. Here's how we do it.
create a standard policy to backup the images directory to tape. /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images We do have an exclude not to get the masters images. Then we configure the catalog to backup to do the following (this is a solaris master, but same applies to windows), we push this to disk in an alternate datacenter: /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/<mastername>/ /usr/openv/volmgr/database/ /usr/openv/var and of course the the media db's, etc from the media servers To do a recovery (which we have had to do unfortunately) first recover the second piece, after that you will have what you need to recover the images directory using the standard restore process. Hope this helps. Mike --- Justin Piszcz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anyone done or setup NetBackup to backup the > catalog database onto > more than 1 tape?
