Teradata DSA allows you to archive and restore data using Teradata Viewpoint portlets and Symantec NetBackup.

DSA Configuration

Before using DSA for data archival and restoration, you must set up third-party components and use the Viewpoint Monitored Systems portlet to add and enable the applicable systems, making them available in the BAR Setup portlet. For information, see Teradata Viewpoint User Guide, B035-2206. In addition, you must configure the systems, nodes, backup solutions, and target groups in the BAR Setup portlet to make them available in the BAR Operations portlet. For information, see Teradata Data Stream Architecture User Guide, B035-3150.

DSA Hardware Compression Driver Requirement

When using DSA to restore an archive made on a source system with hardware block-level compression, you must install the hardware compression driver package (teradata-expressdx) on all TPA nodes of the destination system. The installation requires a reboot of these nodes. Because it allows the destination system to read the compressed archive, this requirement applies even if the destination system is not set up for hardware compression.
The teradata-expressdx driver package is provided with systems that are equipped with compression hardware.
