Veritas NetBackup™ Appliance Administrator's Guide

Manually configuring the deduplication pool catalog backup policy

1. Log on to the Appliance with a NetBackupCLI user account.

   See Creating NetBackup administrator user accounts.

2. Enter the following command to create the deduplication pool catalog backup policy:

   # drcontrol --new_policy --policy <policy-name> --hardware <appliance model> --OS 'NetBackup-Appliance' --log_file ~/<log file name>

   • Replace <policy-name> with: SYMC_NBA_Dedupe_Catalog_<appliance-short-name> where <appliance-short-name> is the short name you have given to your appliance.

   • Replace <appliance model> with the model of the Appliance. For example, 5240 or 5340.

   • Replace <log file name> with the name of the log file the drcontrol tool creates.

     Note:

     If the drcontrol tool is run without the log file option the tool creates a file that is not accessible to the NetBackupCLI user. Make sure to choose a directory accessible by the NetBackupCLI user, such as the home directory of the NetBackupCLI user.
