Integration with NetBackup Role-based Access Control (RBAC)

NetBackup web UI provides the Default NAS Administrator RBAC role to control which NetBackup users can perform backup and restore of NAS volumes using NAS-Data-Protection policy. The user need not be a NetBackup administrator to perform these operations on NAS volumes using the NAS-Data-Protection policy.

Convenience of backup host pool

The backup host pool is a group of NetBackup backup hosts where the snapshot of the volume is staged for the backup process to read. These hosts can be NetBackup clients, media servers, or primary servers.

Vendor change tracking

Vendor Change Tracking (VCT) is a mechanism to get the difference in the content of the volume or share between two points-in-time snapshots. See About Vendor Change Tracking.

Exclude volumes

You can exclude the volumes from the backup selection list that you do not want to back up. For example, if /prodVol* is the backup selection, there may be a volume /prodVol-Scratch, which you do not want to back up.

NetBackup accelerator

You can use NetBackup's robust accelerator feature and dynamic streaming for optimized and fast backups.

Checkpoint restart

You can leverage NetBackup's checkpoint restart feature along with dynamic streaming. By taking checkpoints periodically during the backup, NetBackup can retry a failed backup from the beginning of the last checkpoint without restarting the entire job.
