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 the same name are visible. The old assets get removed from the PaaS tab after the subsequent scheduled asset cleanup (default duration is 30 days). To resolve this issue, re-assign permissions of all the new assets 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 statuses of the previously discovered PaaS assets are displayed as 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:

  1. Add a Snapshot Manager. Add a Snapshot Manager
  2. Add Microsoft Azure, GCP, or AWS as a provider. Add a cloud provider for a Snapshot Manager
  3. Run a discovery. Discover assets on Snapshot Manager

    After the discovery is complete, you can find all the discovered assets in the PaaS tab, in the Cloud workload.

    All discovered AWS RDS 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 the same name at intervals, and if the PaaS asset is deleted after discovery, web UI shows old data until the next periodic discovery runs.
