These are some backup and restore considerations to keep in mind while
planning your backup process:
- UNIX-based clients and Windows-based clients should be used to back up
and restore files only within filesets that are dedicated to their respective
client type.
- When using the Veritas NetBackup application's standard backup option,
do not use the Windows NT® File System (NTFS) to ensure proper
backups of data. When using Veritas NetBackup to restore data, use the override
option, not the default option.
- To simplify disaster recovery, attach filesets only to the global fileset
or to other fileset, and not to a directory.
- Backup to a SAN File System disk cannot be done with Windows-based clients
using the Veritas Backup Exec 9.0 application; however, SAN File System data
can be backed up to a tape device or a local disk, and data can be safely
restored back to a SAN File System disk.
- SAN File System does not support the change-journal mechanism for Windows-based
clients. Therefore, differential backups using Veritas Backup Exec do not
work with SAN File System.
- Veritas Backup Exec's Advance Open File Option package does not work with
SAN File System.
