Netbackup VMWare Backup over SAN

When we configure VMWare backup over SAN we need to make sure the Datastore LUNs are also visible in the Media server.

Before provision the Datastore LUN to the Media server automount should be disabled and Scrubed in the media server as below.

automount disable: Prevents Windows from automatically mounting any new basic and dynamic volumes that are added to the system.

automount scrub:Removes volume mount point directories and registry settings for volumes that are no longer in the system. This prevents volumes that were previously in the system from being automatically mounted and given their former volume mount point(s) when they are added back to the system.

  1. Hi Technowiz,

    It is a good blog covering about netbackup and networker.

    We are in the process of deciding to go for NetBackup or NetWorker.

    As you have very good experience in both, could you please let me know which one is good for an enterprise which needs to backup

    1. Exchange
    2. Oracle Database
    3. Solaris and Linux Servers
    4. ABout 20 windows servers.

    Thanks
