Backup options
The user can adjust the following settings to subscribe to a protection plan.
- Select the server or host as an access host to use for backups.
The host that performs backups on behalf of the virtual machines. Users can choose Automatic to have NetBackup pick the media server, based on the storage unit. Or the user can select another host from the list. These hosts are other media servers in the environment or hosts that are configured as Access hosts.
Note:
During backup of VM with backup host version prior to 9.1, if the VM with same UUID exists across different cluster. The Last successful backup status column for this VM is not updated. However, backup of VM is successful and you can view recovery points and recover.
- Advanced options
To enable, See Prerequisite to Enable virtual machine quiescing.
Enable virtual machine quiesce
Enable unquiesce snapshots if quiesced snapshots fail.
By default, I/O on the virtual machine is quiesced before NetBackup creates the snapshot. In most of the cases, you should use this default. Without quiescing file activity, data consistency in the snapshot cannot be guaranteed. If you disable the quiesce, you must analyze the backup data for consistency.
