Catalog Archiving Overview

The following section describes the steps to archive a catalog. Catalog archiving operations must be performed when NetBackup is in a quiet state.

1. Create a policy named catarc to reflect that the purpose of the schedule is for catalog archiving. See Creating a Catalog Archiving Policy.
2. Run bpcatlist | bpcatarc | bpcatrm to archive the list of .f files indicated by bpcatlist, then remove the files from the database after archiving them. See Creating a Catalog Archiving Policy.
3. If necessary, run bpcatlist | bpcatres to restore the .f files to the catalog.
