Migrating NetBackup images from CloudCatalyst/S3 to Veritas Data Deduplication storage

You can migrate the backup images from the CloudCatalyst/S3 Storage Unit (STU) to the Veritas Data Deduplication STU.

To migrate the NetBackup images from the CloudCatalyst STU to the Veritas Data Deduplication STU when CloudCatalyst is configured as the secondary storage in the NetBackup SLP

  1. Configure the Veritas Data Deduplication STU.
  2. Change the SLP to point to the Veritas Data Deduplication STU instead of the CloudCatalyst STU so that the new images get duplicated on the Veritas Data Deduplication STU.
  3. As optimized duplication from CloudCatalyst to Veritas Data Deduplication is not supported, the administrator is required to add the RESUME_ORIG_DUP_ON_OPT_DUP_FAIL = TRUE flag in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file of both the master and media server.
  4. Go to the NetBackup Management > Catalog and select the Action as Duplicate from the drop-down menu.
  5. In the NetBackup Management > Catalog, right-click on the image that is stored on the CloudCatalyst STU and that you want to duplicate on the Veritas Data Deduplication STU. Select Duplicate.
  6. In the pop-up window that appears, select the Veritas Data Deduplication STU and click OK.
  7. In the confirmation screen, click OK to start duplication.

    You can check the progress of the image duplication in the NetBackup Activity Monitor.

  8. After the completion of duplication, the status of the duplication job appears as The requested operation was partially successful. In the job detail status, some error messages appear that are expected.
  9. After duplication is complete, expire the backup image stored on the CloudCatalyst STU.

To migrate the NetBackup images from the CloudCatalyst STU to the Veritas Data Deduplication STU when CloudCatalyst is configured as the primary storage in the NetBackup policy

  1. Configure the Veritas Data Deduplication STU.
  2. Change the SLP to point to the Veritas Data Deduplication STU instead of the CloudCatalyst STU so that the new images get created on the Veritas Data Deduplication STU.
  3. As optimized duplication from CloudCatalyst to Veritas Data Deduplication is not supported, the administrator is required to add the RESUME_ORIG_DUP_ON_OPT_DUP_FAIL = TRUE flag in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file of both the master and media server.
  4. Go to the NetBackup Management > Catalog and select the Action as Duplicate from the drop-down menu.
  5. In the NetBackup Management > Catalog, right-click on the image that is stored on the CloudCatalyst STU and that you want to duplicate on the Veritas Data Deduplication STU. Select Duplicate.

  8. After the completion of duplication, the status of the duplication job appears as The requested operation was partially successful. In the job detail status, some error messages appear that are expected.
  9. After duplication is complete, expire the backup image stored on the CloudCatalyst STU.

To migrate the NetBackup images from the S3 STU to the Veritas Data Deduplication STU when S3 is configured as the primary storage in the NetBackup policy

  1. Configure the Veritas Data Deduplication STU.
  2. Change the SLP to point to the Veritas Data Deduplication STU instead of the S3 STU so that the new images get created on the Veritas Data Deduplication STU.
  3. Go to the NetBackup Management > Catalog and select the Action as Duplicate from the drop-down menu.
  4. In the NetBackup Management > Catalog, right-click on the image that is stored on the S3 STU and that you want to duplicate on the Veritas Data Deduplication STU. Select Duplicate.

  6. In the confirmation screen, click OK to start duplication.

    You can check the progress of the image duplication in the NetBackup Activity Monitor.

  7. After duplication is complete, expire the backup image stored on the S3 STU.
