Backing Up Data From a DR Series System (NetBackup)
This topic describes how to use NetBackup to back up data from a DR Series system.
Before backing up data, you first need to configure a policy that creates a backup on the OpenStorage Technology (OST)
logical storage unit (LSU). This type of policy is similar to what is done for network-attached storage (NAS) shares,
except that when defining policy attributes, you need to select the LSU that contains the OST disk pool.
To back up data from a DR Series system using a policy, complete the following:
1.
Log into the NetBackup Administrator console.
2.
Click NetBackup Management in the left navigation pane, and select Policies.
3.
In the All Policies main window, right-click OST, and select Change Policy from the drop-down list.
The Change Policy page is displayed.
4.
In the Change Policy page, click the Attributes tab, and select the settings for the policy you want to create.
5.
Click OK to create the policy, which displays under OST in the main window.
6.
Right-click the policy, and select Manual Backup from the drop-down list.
The Manual Backup page is displayed.
7.
In the Manual Backup page, enter the name of the media server in Server, and click OK.
To monitor the status of any backup operation, click Activity Monitor in the left navigation pane of the NetBackup
Administrator console, and select the backup job you are interested in to view details about the operation.
Restoring Data From a DR Series System Using NetBackup

Administrator console, and select the restore job you are interested in to view details about the operation.
Duplicating Backup Images Between DR Series Systems Using NetBackup

different DR Series system.
To duplicate backup images between DR Series systems using NetBackup, complete the following:
1.
Log into NetBackup Administrator console.
