Netbackup/Master server

MASTER server
Only ONE MASTER Server per backup domain
Houses Configuration that defines backups
Runs Scheduler that initiates automated backups
Maintains Databases that tracks location/contents of all

backups

NetBackup/Media Manager
Media Server
Provides interface/control of Storage
Devices (tape drives, optical drives)
Provides Media (removable) Management tracks

location/status of volumes in Volume Database

Controls robotic devices
Monitors status of storage devices
Communicates with Media Manager (on same system)
to select media for backup/store
Communicates with Netbackup client during a
backup/restore operation
Receives backup datastream from client on backup

writes to storage device (backup)

Reads restore datastream from backup device/media
writes to client (restore)

NetBackup/Client
CLIENTS
May (if allowed) request backups/restores (user) user

request is directed to the MASTER server

Scheduled backups initiated by MASTER server
Communicates with MEDIA server during backups and
restores
Provides User Interfaces (backup/restore/browse)

NetBackup Storage Unit

Storage Unit a logical destination for

backups.

Two StandardTypes:
Media Manager - optical or tape drives
Disk
Third (optional) Type
NDMP

NetBackup Volumes
Volume

- removable media (tape or optical). An optical platter is

actually two volumes because it can be written on either side - each
side being defined as a volume.
Volume

Pool - a set (bunch, pile) of volumes defined for a specific

purpose. Example: volumes that are defined to house backups from
the engineering group workstations. Volume Pools are not defined by
geography. Tapes that belong to the same pool can be located in
several robotic libraries and/or standalone.
Volume

Group - tapes that are defined by their location

(geography). Example: All the tapes that are housed in the same
tape carrier. This tape carrier can be extracted from/inserted into a
tape library, thus inserting/extracting a group of tapes all at once.

NetBackup/Policy
Backup Class/Policy
List of parameters that defines the details of how

backups will be performed

Four main components:
Attributes Where (destination), other
Client List Who (will be backed up?)
Schedules When (will backups occur?)
Files List What (will be backed up?)
Unlimited number of classes in a NetBackup domain
Classes/Backup Policies (in NT)
only exist/defined on the NetBackup MASTER Server

NetBackup/Databases
Volume
Database

Image
Database

Media
Database

Exists on each Media Server contains a

list of volumes used on/by a particular Media
Server. Indicates number of valid images
on the media
Exists only on Master Server contains entries for each backup
image created by NetBackup. Two files in image DB per backup. One
file contains info about the backup (location of, expiration,etc). Second
file contains list of all contents (files/directories) that were backed up
(along with all the permissions/dates/etc)
Should exist only on Master Server (VOLUME DATABASE HOST) contains an entry for
each Volume (media ID). Volume DB tracks whether volumes are UNASSIGNED/ASSIGNED
and the application to which the volume is ASSIGNED.

Q&A

NetBackup Daemons
bpdbm -- Manages the configuration, error, and file databases
on master servers
bprd -- Responds to administrative and client requests for the
restores, backups, archives, lists of archived/backed up files
and manual immediate backups
bpsched -- Uses class information from the Netbackup
confguration databases on the master server to determine
which clients to backup and when to start them and which
storage units to use.
bpbrm -- On UNIX servers, the Backup/Restore Manager
manages the client and Media Manager processes and uses
error status from both to determine the final status of
backup/restore operations.
bphdb -- Hot database backup program (Oracle hot-backup
style)

Netbackup/Daemons

Media Manager Daemons

bpcd --Client daemon that allows Netbackup to kick off programs
on remote hosts without using a /.rhosts file
bptm -- Tape media manager used on master/slave servers and is
used when the storage unit type is Media Manager
vmd -- volume management daemon; tracks location, mount
number, and mount time for each volume
ltid -- Media manager device daemon; controls the reservation and
assignment of volumes
txxd -- The exact daemon name is dependent on the type of robot.
These daemons run on each host that's connected to a tape
library. They pass information from ltid to the robotic or to a robotic
control daemon.
txxcd -- The exact daemon name is dependent on the type of
robot. These daemons only run on the host that controls the robot.
avrd -- Automatic volume recognition daemon; handles volume
recognition and label scanning so the system can automatically
assign removable media requests to specific drives.

is a Backup Policy?

CLIs

of a Backup POLICY

for Creating Policy/Schedules

Contents of a netbackup
policy
Contents of a NetBackup Policy?
Four primary components
Policy Attributes
Policy Client List
Policy Schedule(s)
Policy Selection List

A NetBackup Policy contains the HOW, WHERE,

WHO, WHAT, WHEN of backup operations:
HOW/WHERE defined in the Policy Attributes
WHO defined in the policy Client List
WHAT defined by the policy Selection List.
WHEN defined by the policy Schedule(s)

Tools for policy/Schedule

Types of backup

Types of backup
Cold (Closed) Backups
Shutdown database, backup control file, all
datafiles and other Oracle installation files

Warm / Hot Backups

Take tablespace offline (warm) or put it into
backup mode (hot) and backup associated
datafiles.
