Setting up Netbackup lab
Hi every one, any one who has been able to set up netbackup lab ? probably using vmware.. I would like to know how, requirement and how it was set up...
Thank you
You can really play about with NetBackup in vmware right through to tapes - virtual tapes!! (real tape hardware not supported)
Caveat - this lab uses a Linux OS and Netbackup media for your OS and this virtual tape library driver.

Written by a Symantec engineer (I believe), and I even think some Netbackup training is done using this.
Using a setup like this you can get an idea for managing media, or just use disk based storage --- its all disk anyhow at the end of the day in this setup using virtual machines.
I have used this setup of a virtual master to also test my DR - that I can restore my Netbackup catalog. And also test NetBackup upgrades.
