e best summary of the process.
Vaulting is the process of sending backup images off site to a protected storage location. Choose backup images The first step of the Vault process is choosing the backup images that are candidates to be transferred off site. This step, known as image selection, must be configured for every Vault job. Vault uses the criteria in a Vault profile (a set of rules for selecting images, duplicating images, and ejecting media) to determine which backup images are candidates to send off site. If you create multiple original images concurrently during a backup job, Vault can send original images off site (depending on the profile rules). If you duplicate images, Vault uses the primary backup image as the source image for the duplication operation (exception: to improve performance, Vault will duplicate from a nonprimary copy on disk if one exists). Duplicate backup images The second step of the Vault process is duplicating the backup images that are candidates to be transferred off site. This step, known as image duplication, writes copies of backup images on media that you can eject and transfer off site . Image duplication is optional. If you send your only backup image off site or create multiple original backup images and send one or more of those off site, you do not have to duplicate images in Vault and therefore do not have to configure the duplication step. However, that original image must be written to media in the off-site volume pool so it will be ejected and transferred off site . Back up the NetBackup catalog The third step of the Vault process is backing up the NetBackup catalog. Backing up the catalog is optional. However, vaulting a catalog backup with your data can help you recover from a disaster more efficiently. Vault creates its ow n catalog backup with up-to-date information; Vault does not duplicate the NetBackup catalog. Eject media The fourth step of the Vault process is ejecting the media that you then transfe r to secure storage, often at a separate facility. Media that are ejected are trac ked by Vault reporting facilities and will be recalled from off-site storage for reu se after the images expire. Media can be ejected automatically by a scheduled Vault job or manually after the job has completed. Media can be ejected for each job individually or can be consolidated into a single eject operation for multiple Vault jobs. Generate reports The fifth step of the Vault process is generating reports. Reports track the med ia managed by Vault. You and your off-site storage vendor can use the reports to determine which media should be moved between your site and the off-site storage location and the timing of the moves. Reports can be generated as part of the Vault job or manually after the job is finished. Reports can be generated for each job individually or can be consolidated with a consolidated eject operation. Generating reports is optional .
