[Usage conditions for required products on the execution target server]

(1) JP1/VERITAS NetBackup is running.

(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.

• Backup using multiple data streams

• Backups using multiple copies

• Catalog backups
