where is the NBU config file stored?

as i will be receiving a bigger storage for the images, i thought i'd start fresh and instead create a new NBU server with this bigger storage attached.

but one thing getting in my way is, where is the location of the config file that tells NBU where the following are located:

  • backup images
  • catalog
  • backup policies
  • database (does NBU use a database?)

if i can find that config file i can easily duplicate my existing installation to the new server. hopefully.

appreciate any help.

    There is no config file containing this info.

    You can find locations for catalog and database in NBU Admin Guide I under "Parts of the NetBackup Catalog".

    MSDP backup images was determined at the time of MSDP config.

      that's my problem. the vendor who initially installed NBU didn't submit any documentation nor did any knowledge transfers.

      so, what are backup images look like if i browse them via the OS?

    NetBackup's configuration are kept in a lot of places, some of it is in config files in various locations on the file system, and other settings are kept in the EMM. I know cause I've built a confi document generation tool and i still haven't figured out where to find some of the settings so I can include them in the report.
