Catalog backup and recovery
Media server should be of the same NetBackup version as the primary server for catalog backup and recovery workflow.
Review the following points:
DTE mode for catalog backup jobs is similar to the file system workflow and DTE decision is similar to the backup workflow described above.
DTE mode in catalog backup jobs:
Parent catalog backup job does not have DTE mode set.
Database staging child job does not have DTE mode set.
Other child jobs have DTE mode set as per the configured DTE settings.
DTE mode in catalog recovery jobs:
First 2 jobs have the DTE mode set as per the following tables depending on the image DTE mode.
The first two jobs replace the global DTE setting and primary server's bp.conf values, so the 3rd job DTE mode is set as per the recovered global DTE setting and primary server's bp.conf values.
Table: When the image DTE mode is Off and the media server DTE setting is On
Global DTE mode | NetBackup Primary server 9.1 and later with DTE mode | ||
|---|---|---|---|
On | Off | Automatic | |
Preferred Off | Data is encrypted | Data is not encrypted | Data is not encrypted |
Preferred On | Data is encrypted | Data is not encrypted | Data is encrypted |
Enforced | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted |
Note:
When the global DTE setting is set to ENFORCED and the DTE_CLIENT_MODE is Off, DTE is preferred over failure in case of catalog recovery.
Table: When the image DTE mode is Off and the media server DTE setting is Off
Global DTE mode | NetBackup Primary server 9.1 and later with DTE mode | ||
|---|---|---|---|
On | Off | Automatic | |
Preferred Off | Data is encrypted * | Data is not encrypted | Data is not encrypted |
Preferred On | Data is encrypted * | Data is not encrypted | Data is not encrypted |
Enforced | Data is encrypted * | Data is encrypted * | Data is encrypted * |
* signifies that DTE is preferred over failure during catalog recovery. It ignores the DTE setting on the media server, that is Off unless the client DTE mode is set to Automatic.
Table: When the image DTE mode is On and the media server DTE setting is On
Global DTE mode | Host | Value of the DTE_IGNORE_IMAGE_MODE configuration option | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
NEVER (default) | WHERE_UNSUPPORTED | ALWAYS | ||
Preferred Off | Primary server with DTE_CLIENT_MODE as ON | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted |
Primary server with DTE_CLIENT_MODE as OFF | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | Data is not encrypted | |
Primary server with DTE_CLIENT_MODE as AUTOMATIC | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | Data is not encrypted | |
Preferred On | Primary server with DTE_CLIENT_MODE as ON | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted |
Primary server with DTE_CLIENT_MODE as OFF | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | Data is not encrypted | |
Primary server with DTE_CLIENT_MODE as AUTOMATIC | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | |
Enforced | Primary server with DTE_CLIENT_MODE as ON | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted |
Primary server with DTE_CLIENT_MODE as OFF | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | |
Primary server with DTE_CLIENT_MODE as AUTOMATIC | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | Data is encrypted | |
Note:
If DTE_IGNORE_IMAGE_MODE is set to ALWAYS, the DTE decision is as per the table - Table: When the image DTE mode is Off and the media server DTE setting is On.

* signifies that DTE is preferred over failure during catalog recovery. It ignores the DTE setting on the media server, that is Off unless the client DTE mode is set to Automatic.
