Discovering PaaS assets
NetBackup lets you discover, protect, and restore PaaS database assets. You can also discover and restore Azure SQL database and Azure SQL managed database assets backed up by Microsoft Azure. The supported backup modes are Point in time backup and Long-term retention backup.
Note:
If you have upgraded the NetBackup Snapshot Manager (previously CloudPoint) from version 10.0 to 10.1. For all users with custom roles, the PaaS assets are marked as deleted in the PaaS tab. The assets do not show any recovery-point on them, instead new assets with same name are visible. The old assets get removed from the PaaS tab after the subsequent scheduled asset cleanup (default duration is 30 days). As a work-around for this problem, re-assign permissions of all the new asset to the existing RBAC role or create a new custom role. For more information, see NetBackup WebUI Administrator's Guide.
Note:
If you change the Snapshot Manager cloud plug-in configuration from Azure service principal to Azure managed identity, the status of the previously discovered PaaS assets are displayed deleted. NetBackup Snapshot Manager removes the deleted assets every 24 hours, if you want to perform backup or recovery before the scheduled cleanup, contact Veritas Technical Support.
To discover PaaS assets:
- Add a Snapshot Manager. Add a Snapshot Manager
- Add Microsoft Azure, GCP, or AWS as a provider. Add a cloud provider for a Snapshot Manager
- Run a discovery. Discover assets on Snapshot Manager
After the discovery is complete, you can find all the discovered Azure PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQL Managed Instance, SQL, MySQL and GCP Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, Cloud SQL for MySQL, or AWS Dynamo DB assets in the PaaS tab, in the Cloud workload.
All discovered AWS RDS PostgreSQL, RDS MySQL, RDS MariaDB, RDS SQL, and AuroraDB assets appear in the Applications tab. The RDS instances support provider snapshot-based backups as well as NetBackup managed backups.
NetBackup can manage and protect all the assets listed under the PaaS tab. Additionally, Azure SQL database and Azure SQL Managed database assets can also be backed up by Microsoft Azure.
Note:
When you create and delete a PaaS asset with same name in intervals, and if the PaaS asset is deleted after discovery, web UI shows old data until the next periodic discovery runs.
