Design Document for NBU

Hi All,

Is there anywhere where I can get hold of a design/build template for Netbackup? I'm wondering if anyone has already put together a document with the relevant sections.

Kind Regards,

Leo.

    I am not aware of any such documentation.

    Each environment is unique.
    Work with a Solutions Architecht at your local reseller to assist with a data protection design for your environment.

    PS: I am moving this discussion to the NetBackup forum as it is not directly related to NBU Appliances.

    Updated planning and performance doc in 'Featured Articles' of NBU forum:

    Updated NetBackup Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide for Release 7.5 and Release 7.6

    Extract:

    This guide is for administrators who want to analyze, evaluate, and tune NetBackup performance. This manual is intended to provide guidance on questions such as the following: How big should the NetBackup master server be? How can the server be tuned for maximum performance? How many CPUs and disk or tape drives are needed? How to configure backups to run as fast as possible? How to improve recovery times? What tools can characterize or measure how NetBackup handles data?
