Backing up NetBackup Snapshot Manager
If NetBackup Snapshot Manager is deployed in a cloud
To back up NetBackup Snapshot Manager when it is deployed in a cloud
- Stop NetBackup Snapshot Manager services.
(For Docker/Podman)
flexsnap_configure stop
- Ensure that all NetBackup Snapshot Manager containers are stopped. This step is important because all activity and connections to and from NetBackup Snapshot Manager must be stopped to get a consistent NetBackup Snapshot Manager backup.
Enter the following:
(For Docker) # sudo docker ps | grep veritas
(For Podman) # sudo podman ps | grep veritas
This command should not return any actively running NetBackup Snapshot Manager containers.
- (Optional) If you still see any active containers, repeat step 2. If that does not work, run the following command on each active container:
(For Docker) # sudo docker kill container_name
(For Podman) # sudo podman kill container_name
As an example following is the command for docker environment:
# sudo docker kill flexsnap-api
- After all the containers are stopped, take a snapshot of the volume on which you installed NetBackup Snapshot Manager. Use the cloud provider's snapshot tools.
- After the snapshot completes, restart NetBackup Snapshot Manager services.
Use the following command:
(For Docker/Podman)
flexsnap_configure start
