Migration of Backup Policies

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me, whether it is possible to migrate policies from one master server to another master server. If yes, then what will be the procedure?

Thanks in advance.

    Do as :

    1) Go to /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class

    2) First take the backup of those policies.

    3) Determine which policies/group of policies to be moved to another master. e.g. The polices which start with DB ; do as ls |grep DB

    3) Make the zip of those (make tar file).

    4) Do the ftp to other server and transfer that tar file. (Give the destination path as /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class.)

    5) Go the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class where is your tar file located.

    6) Untar that file to realease all policies in new server.

    7) After that remove the tar file from /db/class.

    Thanks.

    the policies are located at ..\netbackup\db\class directory.

    You can copy the class directory to the new server or just copy the policies you want. I always use this procedure with same version master servers. I do not know if you can copy between different versions. probably not

    Thanks for the reply. :)

    Can you please tell me, whether it is possible in case of migrating from 7.1 to 7.5?

    I think there is no question of what versions you are using / migrating to...by the while upgrading from 7.1 to 7.5 we dont commit any changes in policies . So its just a file transfer, surely you can do that.
