Use the NetBackup Administration Console for this procedure.

An administrator can use the Media and Device Management section of the NetBackup Administration Console for a single view of all NetBackup domain components. The Media Manager is also available to configure tapes or other storage units for a Teradata Extension for NetBackup configuration. Refer to the Media Manager for NetBackup System Administrator’s Guide for more information.

The number of volumes required depends on the devices used, the size of the Teradata Databases that are being backed up, and the size and frequency of the backups.

In a NetBackup Enterprise domain where the master server is not on one of the Teradata BAR servers, the Backup Administrator, upon request from the Teradata Administrator, will configure the media and devices. In a NetBackup configuration where the master server is also on one of the BAR servers, the Teradata administrator will configure the master/media server.

The remaining sections in this chapter have two purposes in that they provide:
  • The Teradata Administrator the necessary detail of what additions and changes to request from the Backup Administrator
  • The steps that are needed to configure the master/media server
