NetBackup NDMP Backup Schedules and Types

hello-jon — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:52:37 GMT

Ideally should each NetBackup policy have three schedules?

Full Backup (NDMP level 0)
Cumulative Incremental Backup (NDMP level 1)
Differential Incremental Backup (NDMP last level +1 < 9)

For example I have an NDMP backup policy with a single volume. I run #1 the first week, #2 the second week, and #3 the third through nineth week. Does this make sense?

We have cDOT 9.1, NetBackup 7.7.3 (configured for CAB). I am using this Veritas article too: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH143455

Thanks!

it's make-sense. but it's up to you. and you should consider restore as well. as your way, to restore to current data, you need to restore from a full and other incrementals one by one. or u can do a full with level 1 everyday, in this case, just one full restore and one level 1 restore to the current data. but as what i said, it's up to you/your restore expectation.
