Configure Snapshot Manager's in NetBackup

You can add a Snapshot Manager using the NetBackup Web UI. Starting with 8.3, the Snapshot Manager can discover cloud assets on Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure US Government cloud.

Consider the following important points:

  • You can associate multiple Snapshot Managers to a NetBackup primary server. But you can associate only one Snapshot Manager to one NetBackup master server.

  • You can associate multiple media servers to a Snapshot Manager. Only the media servers that are linked to your NetBackup primary server can be linked to a Snapshot Manager.

  • You can now manage Snapshot Manager and control discovery of assets from the NetBackup WebUI, REST API, and CLI without interacting with the Snapshot Manager interfaces.

  • For backup from snapshot jobs, the NetBackup media storage associated servers are used instead of Snapshot Manager associated media servers. The NetBackup media storage associated servers must be connected to the Snapshot Manager to facilitate all the Snapshot Manager related operations.

The following table describes the underlying tasks.
