Using Your Backup Software

•

The default mount point for virtual copy backups is:

<system drive>:\3parSnapshot

•

You must manually synchronize backups. If a backup expires in your backup software, you
must manually remove the backup from Recovery Manager. If you remove a valid backup
from Recovery Manager, you must manually remove it from your backup software.

•

Recovery Manager does not track restore progress. You must use your backup software to
monitor restore progress.

•

For more information about using CLI commands with your backup software, see RMSql
backup

, RMSql deletebackup, RMSql listbackup, and RMSql restore in

“Using

the Recovery Manager CLI” (page 42)

.

•

For more information about using your backup software to back virtual copies up to media,
see

“Backing Up a Virtual Copy” (page 36)

.

•

For more information about using your backup software to restore virtual copies from media,
see

“Restoring Instances, Databases, and Volumes” (page 38)

.

Using Symantec NetBackup

•

Symantec NetBackup software is case-sensitive. If you are using NetBackup, make sure all
information entered pertaining to the policy is supplied with the proper case.

•

Any time you are using NetBackup to back up to media or restore from media, you can monitor
the progress using the progress log:

<RM installation location>\log\nbulog\database_timestamp.log

•

To modify the timeout value for NetBackup software initialization, see

“Understanding the

Registry” (page 17)

.

Using HP Data Protector

For each HP Data Protector backup you create, a postscript (.bat) file is created in the $DP_HOME\
bin

folder (where $DP_HOME is the Data Protector install location; for example, C:\ program

files\Omniback

.) This script cleans up after the associated backup is complete.

Note that Recovery Manager does not clean these postscripts. After a backup is complete (either
successfully or with failures), you can manually remove the associated postscript batch file if desired.
