Report Description
Disk Storage Unit The Disk Storage Unit Status report displays the state of disk storage
units in the current NetBackup configuration.
For disk pool capacity, see the disk pools window in Media and Device
Management > Devices > Disk Pools.
Multiple storage units can point to the same disk pool. When the report
query is by storage unit, the report counts the capacity of disk pool
storage multiple times.
Disk Pool Status The Disk Pool Status report displays the state of disk pool storage
units. This report displays only when an Enterprise Disk Option license
is installed.

NetBackup Management > Reports > Disk Reports.

Beginning with NetBackup 6.5.4, both full catalog recovery and partial catalog
recovery is possible from a primary hot catalog backup copy on disk storage.
Therefore, you can write a hot catalog backup to an OpenStorage disk appliance
and then recover the catalog from the primary copy. Caveat: the recovery must
be in the domain in which the catalog was created.
NetBackup 6.5.4 and later also support duplication of the catalog by using a Storage
Lifecycle Policy. However, limitations exist for recovery from non-primary copies
of the catalog backup or from catalog copies in other domains. More information
about the limitations and catalog recovery is available, as follows:
