Need insight of NBU

Needed more insight of NBU.

Was searching around for files with different extention that existed under NBU directory. Do we have any article or sort of thing which can explain them

What does each directory hold. During backup what kind of files are created in which format etc.

 

  • Was searching around for files with different extention that existed under NBU directory.

    Please be more specific?  Are you referring to Windows server? Most files/binaries on Unix/Linux server will have no extention.

    To understand more about NBU databases, have a look at the NBU Admin Guide I for your version.

    See topic called Parts of the NetBackup catalog.

    For binaries/commands, see Commands manual for your NBU version.

    Log folders you know about.....

  • plz let us know which files & folder (path's) on master / Media / Client ???

  • File types are not documented that I know of.

    During backup, multiple files are created :

    EMM DB entries (not really a file, but I thought I'd mention it ...)

    Catlog files (txt format and binary) (If 7.5, then some of this goes into EMM DB)

    Various log files, txt format

    The actual image files, if to tape or disk are tar format.
