Catalog Files Tab
The Catalog Files tab contains the absolute pathnames to the catalog files to be backed up.
For more information on pathnames, see Catalog Pathnames and Pathnames for the NetBackup Database.
The pathnames of the catalogs on the master server are automatically added during installation and generally require no action on your part other than to ensure they are listed.
In the case of NetBackup Enterprise Server, however, where the master server and media servers may reside on different machines, the pathnames to the NetBackup database on the media servers are not automatically added during installation and require that you add them to the file list.
Note
The table names and database names in the database pathname are case-sensitive. The database catalog backups will fail if typed without regard to case.
To add a pathname
-
In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management > Catalog.
-
Select Actions > Configure NetBackup Catalog Backup.
-
Select the Files tab.
-
Click New.
-
Type the pathname in the Catalog File Locations list. See Catalog Pathnames.
-
Click OK to complete the addition.
 Caution
Make sure there are no invalid paths in the list of catalog files to be backed up, especially if you've moved catalog files, deleted old paths, or added new paths to the catalog backup configuration. If NetBackup cannot find or follow a path, the entire catalog backup fails.
Caution
Do not specify a link as the final component in a UNIX path or the entire catalog backup will fail.
While NetBackup follows links at other points in the path, NetBackup does not follow a link when it is the final component. If any other part of a listed path is a symbolic link, NetBackup saves the actual path during the backup.
