A server running JP1/VERITAS NetBackup (master server).

The backup policy to be executed must already exist.

(1) The backup is executed by JP1/VERITAS NetBackup, and after backup execution finishes, the task finishes.

[Usage conditions of prerequisite products in the system executing the service template]

(1) The backup policy to be executed has been set up.

(2) 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 be sure to confirm this prior to service 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) of an executing task on the JP1/Automatic Operation side does not cancel a JP1/VERITAS NetBackup job.

(2) Using the following functions will cause task 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 task finishes normally only when all jobs are normal; the task ends abnormally in all other cases.

• Backup using multiple data streams

• Backups using multiple copies

• Catalog backups
