Cloud catalyst with NetBackup 8.3
Hi
I understand that NetBackup 8.3 includes the ability to configure cloud catalyst functionality within the media server. My question is does this still require the creation and use of an msdp pool for local backups or can the cloud catalyst cache location now be targeted directly by the backup policy for backup directly to the cloud?
If I need an msdp pool as a ‘landing’ area for local backups does it need to be sized to be able to hold at least one full backup of all my data?
Thanks

- Hi
You can do either way...
Create a disk pool and a storage unit using the cloud storage and back up the data directly to that cloud storage.
OR
Create a disk pool and a storage unit using the cloud storage. Back up the data to the local MSDP storage server and then do an optimized deduplication to duplicate the data to the cloud storage.
