You install the 32-bit or 64-bit NetBackup Client for LinuxTM software Netezza Performance Server host and the Netezza Performance Server components communicate with the
NetBackup client software to do back up and restore operations. The components do not assume any
specific media, but instead rely on the NetBackup Media Server for configuration of the media server
and storage devices. The Netezza Performance Server
solution was tested with NetBackup versions 6.5, 7.1, 7.6, 7.7, 7.7.1, 8.0, 8.3, 9.1, and
10.3.0.1.
Note: Make sure /opt/VRTSpbx is not present before installing
NetBackup client on Netezza Performance Server. If
/opt/VRTSpbx is present, remove that manually.
If you plan to use multi-stream backup and multi-stream restore support, consult with your NetBackup administrator to confirm that it is configured to support your expected maximum stream count. NetBackup has multiple settings for limiting concurrent stream counts. On the main server, there is a Maximum jobs per client global attribute. There is also a Policy-level attribute, Limit jobs per policy. The job limit is the minimum of the global setting and the policy setting. There is also a Maximum concurrent jobs setting on disk storage units.
