This plugin assumes that the following server is being used.
• Backup execution server (Execution target server)
The server running JP1/VERITAS NetBackup. The backup policy to be executed must already exist.
Use situation
Making a backup of the server in question periodically or when necessary.

(2) The backup policy to be executed has been set up.
(3) Set the following to define a backup policy with JP1/VERITAS NetBackup.
• Do not set the Start Window of the schedule.
Set up schedule execution with JP1/Automatic Operation.
• Uncheck "Bare Metal Restore". This function is not supported for JP1/VERITAS NetBackup 7.0 or 7.1.
The default with JP1/VERITAS NetBackup 7.0 is for this to be checked, so confirm this prior to plugin execution.
Other unsupported functions of JP1/VERITAS NetBackup are described in the software documentation for JP1/VERITAS NetBackup.
Do not set these functions.
Cautions
(1) To cancel a backup that is being executed, you must cancel the job from the JP1/VERITAS NetBackup side.
Canceling (forced quit) an executing task on the JP1/Automatic Operation side does not cancel a JP1/VERITAS NetBackup job.
(2) Using the following functions will cause plugin execution to fail. Do not use these functions.
• Backups that define multiple clients for a single backup policy
• Secondary backups when Disk Staging is used
(3) When the following functions are used, multiple instances of the JP1/VERITAS NetBackup job are executed. The plugin shuts down normally only when all jobs are normal; the plugin ends abnormally in all other cases.

• Backups using multiple copies
• Catalog backups
