Anyone know details on the Vault Catalog backups? The Vault admin guide says:
Vault creates its own catalog backup with up-to-date information; Vault does not duplicate the NetBackup catalog.
and
Perform the catalog backup step in Vault. Vault creates a new catalog backup with up-to-date information, it does not duplicate an existing NetBackup catalog backup. A NetBackup catalog backup is not a substitute for a Vault catalog backup because it does not include the latest information about duplicated media and media location.
However, when I run a vault backup it appears to be grabbing the entire NetBackup catalog. Is the doc just saying that a vault catalog backup, when run as part of a vault policy, captures information about the images that were duplicated in the current vault session, whereas the previous normal NetBackup catalog backup does not have this data?
Will the next normal catalog backup have everything I expect? Or is the vault backup getting data that would not be captured in the next normal catalog backup? Barring DR requirements that would have an up-to-the minute catalog backup, does the vault backup get me anything that a normal catalog backup does not?
Appreciate any input
