About catalog search

The NetVault Backup Server version 12.0 and later running on Windows and Linux operating system supports catalog searching. The NetVault Backup catalog search service provides fast-search capabilities for the metadata (name, mod date, type etc) of items backed up by NetVault Backup. Catalog search provides search capabilities for the tags (Filename) based on string data-type.

Catalog search results provides the following information:

The following plug-ins support catalog searching:

Prerequisites

Before you start configuring the NetVault Backup, verify that the following requirements are met:

Catalog search reserved RAM size (For Windows and Linux) must not be more than 50% of the physical RAM. For low memory systems (i.e. 8 GB or less), Quest recommends to set the reserved RAM size to no more than 2 GB.
Allow NetVault Backup to create catalog search Linux user: The default option to allow NetVault Backup to create Catalog search Linux user account automatically (default value: netvault-catalog on Linux).
Linux user name: Create a new Linux user account by referring to the corresponding operating system guide. Ensure that the specified catalog search Linux user belongs to the group <user name>. Create the group with the same name as of the Linux user name and add the user into the same group.

Configuring catalog search

To enhance searching for files in savesets, you must install and configure the catalog search service on NetVault Backup Server running on Windows or Linux operating systems.

On the Catalog Search Configuration page, provide the following details.

Host Information

Catalog Host

Displays the name of the NetVault Backup Server to install the catalog search server.

 

Catalog Search Password

Type the password for the catalog search database. It cannot contain the following characters:

& < > | ^ spaces

By default, ‘admin’ is used as the password if this field is kept empty during catalog search installation.

 

Confirm Catalog Search Password

Type the password again for confirmation.

 

Existing Linux User (for Linux only)

For Linux operating system, type the existing Linux user name. Do not use the ‘root’ as a user name. For more information, see Prerequisites.

 

Database Directory

Click Browse to select the database directory for catalog search:

Click OK.

 

Snapshot Directory

Click Browse to select the location to store the catalog search database backup.

Click OK.

 

Log Directory

Click Browse to select the location to store the catalog search logs.

Click OK.

Configuration

Reserved RAM Size (GB)

This is the amount of RAM that the catalog search service attempts to pre-allocate before it starts. If the RAM isn’t available the service won’t start.

By default, the value is set to 1GB. Type or select the required RAM size. For systems with Large RAM size, a higher value is recommended (2 – 16 GB, based on the item backup rate and availability of RAM, limited by the restrictions mentioned in the Prerequisites section).

 

Maximum simultaneously active catalog workers

By default, 5 concurrent catalog workers can run on the server.

To change the number of catalog workers that can be run in parallel at any time, type or select the new value.

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 20

 

Add pre-existing and scanned backups to catalog

Select this check box to include the pre-existing and scanned backup jobs for catalog searching. By default, the check box is clear.

 

Include backups with offline indexes

Select this check box to include the backup jobs with offline indexes for catalog searching. By default, the check box is clear.

You can select this option only if the option Add pre-existing and scanned backups to catalog is selected.

 

Offline index load wait (Minutes)

This is the amount of time the catalog search service will wait for an offline index for a pre-existing backup to be loaded. If the media manager doesn’t load the offline index within this wait time, cataloging of this pre-existing backup will be temporarily skipped. Eventually, the skipped pre-existing backup will be cataloged, with the timing depending on how many other pre-existing backups are available for cataloging.

Type or select the duration (in minutes) to wait for loading the offline index during catalog indexing. By default, the minimum value is set to 10 minutes.

 

Startup offline index load wait (Minutes)

This is the minimum time from the last NetVault Backup start time before the catalog search service requests the media manager to load an offline index. This delay from the last NetVault Backup start is required to allow the media manager to complete its device scan to determine which devices are available. If a device is unavailable or hasn’t been scanned to determine its availability at the time of receipt of an offline index request, the media manager fails the request without trying to load the offline index.

Type or select the duration (in minutes). By default, the minimum value is set to 10 minutes.

 

Restrict the age of backups added to the catalog

Select this check box to restrict the pre-existing backup jobs for catalog searching.

By default, the check box is clear.

You can select this option only if the option Add pre-existing and scanned backups to catalog is selected.

 

Add backups completed on and after

To include the backup jobs completed on and after a specific date in the catalog search, type the date, or click the button next to the box, and select the date.
