Protecting Large NetBackup Catalogs

It is very important to ensure that the NetBackup catalogs on the master and media servers are backed up regularly. NetBackup provides a built-in mechanism for achieving this. However, this mechanism imposes a limit on the size of the data that can be backed up; namely, the data must all fit on a single piece of media.

You can set up a method for multiple-tape catalog backups to back up and recover the NetBackup catalog files if they become too large to fit onto a single tape.
