Detecting backup anomalies on the primary server
This topic provides the procedure to enable the primary server to detect backup anomalies.
To enable the primary server to detect backup anomalies
- Install the NetBackup primary server software on your system (or upgrade the primary server software).
After the installation, the following configurations are automatically done on the primary server:
The NetBackup Anomaly Detection Management service (nbanomalymgmt) is started on the primary server.
The anomaly detection and alert services do not run by default.
Note:
The NetBackup Anomaly Detection Management service stops if the proxy server takes more than 45 minutes to connect to the primary server.
- Configure the backup anomaly settings using the NetBackup web UI. NetBackup takes these settings into account during anomaly detection.
See Configure backup anomaly detection settings.
See How NetBackup detects backup anomalies.
If any anomalies are detected, they are notified through the NetBackup web UI.
