About using NetBackup deduplicated backups to create Velocity sandboxes
If you have NetBackup 8.1 or later and Velocity 2.9 or later, you can create sandboxes in Velocity from NetBackup backups without having to perform separate ingestions. To enable this functionality, the NetBackup administrator must set up the Velocity Storage Server as a NetBackup Disk Storage Server to enable the Velocity Storage Server to function as an OpenStorage (OST) device in NetBackup. The NetBackup administrator must also create a policy that uses a Velocity Storage Server as a disk storage device, and then add that policy as a database source in Velocity.
After the policy is added as a database source, the most recent 100 backups that were created from the policy appear in the list of copies on the Database Sources dialog in Velocity. From there, a sandbox user can select one of the copies to use to create a sandbox. Once the number of backups for a policy reaches 100, as more backups are created for a policy, the oldest backups are deleted automatically from Velocity. Additionally, If a backup is deleted from NetBackup, the database copy is deleted from Velocity. If a sandbox was created from a deleted backup, the sandbox continues to exist in Velocity. However, no additional sandboxes can be created from the deleted backup.
