Catalog Pathnames
Applies only to NetBackup Enterprise Server:
The pathname format depends on whether the catalog is on a master server or a remote media server. It also depends on whether the backup is sent to the master server or to a remote media server.
Absolute Pathnames for Catalogs on the Master Server
The pathnames of the catalogs on the master server are automatically added during installation and, unless you are backing up the catalogs to a media server, require no action on your part other than to ensure they are listed.
/usr/openv/netbackup/db
The files in this directory have NetBackup scheduling information, error logs, and all information about files backed up from client workstations.
/usr/openv/volmgr/database
The files in this directory have the information about the media and devices being used in the configuration.
/usr/openv/var
The files in this directory contain license key and authentication information.
If you are backing up the catalogs to a media server, prefix each pathname with the name of the master server:
master_name:catalog_backup_path
For example, if the master server is named venus, the paths are:
venus:/usr/openv/netbackup/db
venus:/usr/openv/volmgr/database
venus:/usr/openv/var
Pathnames for the NetBackup Database
The pathnames to the NetBackup database on the master server are not automatically added during installation and require that you add them to the list. For example:
/usr/openv/db
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.
Absolute Pathnames for Catalogs on Media Servers
If you are backing up catalog files that are on media servers, prefix each pathname with the name of the media server:
server_name:catalog_backup_path
The paths that you must add depend on whether the platform has a volume database or devices configured and on the version of NetBackup installed on the system.
- For UNIX NetBackup media servers that have a volume database or devices configured, add the following two paths.
- media_server_name:/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media
The files in this directory have information about files that were backed up or archived from client workstations.
- media_server_name:/usr/openv/volmgr/database
The files in this directory have information about the media and devices being used in the configuration.
- For UNIX NetBackup media servers that do not have a volume database or devices configured, add the following path:
media_server_name:/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media
The files in this directory have information about files backed up or archived from client workstations.
- For UNIX NetBackup media servers at version 3.4 or later, also include the following path:
media_server_name:/usr/openv/var
For example, to add the paths for a UNIX NetBackup media server (3.4 or later) named elk that has a volume database or devices configured, make the following entries:
elk:/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media
elk:/usr/openv/volmgr/database
elk:/usr/openv/var
Paths For Windows NetBackup Media Servers
If you are backing up catalogs that are on Windows NetBackup media servers, prefix each path name with the name of the media server:
media_server_name:catalog_backup_path
For example, the paths for a Windows NetBackup server (3.4 or later) named mars are as follows (install_path is the directory where NetBackup is installed):
mars:C:install_path\NetBackup\db
mars:C:install_path\Volmgr\database
mars:C:install_path\NetBackup\var
The files in the db directory have NetBackup error logs and all information about files backed up from client workstations.
The files in the database directory have information about the media and devices used in the configuration.
Note
Remember to use the backslash (\) in the pathnames for a Windows NetBackup server.
