Copying the NetBackup databases

A temporary backup of the NBDB, NBAZDB, and BMRDB databases can be made for extra protection before database administration activities such as moving or reorganizing the databases. Also, some customer support situations may require that you create a copy of the NetBackup database.

Use the NetBackup database administration utilities or the nbdb_backup command to make this kind of backup.
