Backing Up Data on the RDS Container Using NetVault Backup

You must back up data on the RDS container (available on the DR Series systems) using NetVault Backup. Before you can back up data using the RDS protocol, you must create an RDS container on the DR Series system and then add that container as an RDA device on NetVault Backup. For more information see, Adding RDS Devices in NVBU.

To back up data on the RDS container:

Replicating Data to a RDS Container using NetVault Backup

Replicating Data to a RDS Container using NetVault Backup

By using NetVault Backup with the DR Series system, you can run optimized replication jobs. You can replicate data in backup RDS containers on one DR Series system to a target RDS container that is on a different DR Series system. Both the source and target RDS containers must be added to the NetVault Backup server as RDA devices. You can complete optimized replication (or optimized duplication) of backups that you complete using NetVault Backup.

To replicate the data available on the backup RDS container to a target RDS container:

1.
In the NetVault Backup Console, click Backup.
The NetVault Backup window is displayed.
