Compatibility between NetBackup versions for Client | Back to top |
-
For compatibility between major versions, the latest available release of NetBackup is compatible with media servers and clients that run a release of NetBackup that is up to one major version behind. However, this compatibility ceases to be supported in any configuration once the previous major version has reached its End of Support Life.
For information on Veritas End of Life Policy, refer to https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000116439
-
NetBackup does not support any scenario where a media server or client runs a software release update version that is higher than that of their Master server.

Software Compatibility List (SCL) for Client | Back to top |
- NetBackup is supported on all editions (Advanced, Base, DC, etc.) and on all vendor GA updates (n.1, n.2, etc.) or service packs (SP1, SP2, etc.) unless stated otherwise in the tables below.

SAN Media Server/SAN Client/FT Media Server for Client | Back to top |
- • Unless otherwise noted the minimum NetBackup level for SAN Client support is NetBackup 6.5 GA.
- SAN style backups via SAN Media Server
-
SAN media servers are NetBackup media servers that back up their own data. SAN
media servers cannot back up data that resides on other clients.
SAN media servers are useful for certain situations. For example, a SAN media
server is useful if the data volume consumes so much network bandwidth that it
affects your network negatively.
• Enables LAN-free data protection with high performance access to shared resources.
• Can share tape resources with NetBackup Master and Media Servers.
• Can only back itself up, not other clients.
• Software is installed stand-alone on each cluster node and linked to the virtual host via an application cluster.
• When you define a backup policy for a SAN media server, add only the SAN media server as the client.
• The NetBackup Shared Storage Option is able to use NetBackup SAN media servers.
• There is no platform restriction regarding SAN Media Servers - any Media Server can be a SAN Media Server. The only difference is in the license authentication mechanism. Application and DB Agents are supported with the SAN Media Server.
- SAN style backups via SAN Client
-
A NetBackup SAN client is a NetBackup client on which the Fibre Transport service
is activated. The SAN client is similar to the SAN media server that is used for the
Shared Storage Option; it backs up its own data. However, the SAN client is based
on the smaller NetBackup client installation package, so it has fewer administration
requirements and uses fewer system resources.
• It connects to a NetBackup media server over Fibre Channel.
• The NetBackup SAN Client Fibre Transport Service manages the connectivity and the data transfers for the FT pipe on the SAN clients. The SAN client FT service also discovers FT target mode devices on the NetBackup media servers and notifies the FT Service Manager about them.
• Requires SAN connectivity with a Media Server running Fibre Transport Services (reference additional information below in regards to the FT Media Server).
SAN client does not support the following types of backup:
• SharePoint
• Enterprise Vault
• Exchange DAG or CCR backups through a passive node of an Exchange cluster
• All other application and database agents are supported with the SAN Client.
Note: SAN client does support the use of FlashBackup but all restores from FlashBackup backups will use the LAN connection, not the SAN connection.

• SAN Client is a NetBackup optional feature that provides high speed backups and restores of NetBackup clients. Fibre Transport is the name of the NetBackup high-speed data transport method that is part of the SAN Client feature. The backup and restore traffic occurs over a SAN.
• SAN clients can be used with the deduplication option; however, the deduplication must occur on the media server, not the client. Configure the media server to be both a deduplication storage server (or load balancing server) and an FT media server. The SAN client backups are then sent over the SAN to the deduplication server/FT media server host. At that media server, the backup stream is deduplicated.
• Do not enable client deduplication on SAN Clients. The data processing for deduplication is incompatible with the high-speed transport method of Fibre Transport. Client-side deduplication relies on two-way communication over the LAN with the media server. A SAN client streams the data to the FT media server at a high rate over the SAN.
- FT Media Server
- A NetBackup FT media server is a NetBackup media server on which the Fibre Transport services are activated. NetBackup FT media servers accept connections from SAN clients and send data to the storage units. The host bus adapters (HBAs) that accept connections from the SAN clients use a special NetBackup target mode driver to process FT traffic. The media server FT service controls data flow, processes SCSI commands, and manages data buffers for the server side of the FT pipe. It also manages the target mode driver for the host bus adaptors.
- Reference the HCL document Fibre Transport Media Server HBAs section for supported Operating Systems and HBAs. https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/article.100040093

System Requirements for Client | Back to top |
NetBackup Binary Size
-
Approximate binary size of the NetBackup client software for an initial install.
OS - All Versions | CPU Architecture | 32-bit client | 64-bit client | Notes |
Debian GNU/Linux | x86-64 | 1340 MB |
Temporary Disk Space Requirement for Install or Upgrade
-
After downloading the software, temporary disk space is required for the installation process on almost all platforms. For local installs or remote (push) installs using the rsh or ssh method, you may designate where this temporary space is located via use of environment variables, NB_TMPDIR or TMPDIR on the client. NB_TMPDIR is used if set, TMPDIR next if set, otherwise /tmp. For ftp or sftp remote installs, the client software is moved to /tmp on the client and during the install environment variables NB_TMPDIR or TMPDIR are used as mentioned previously. For details, consult the Installation Guide.
Local installs on this platform do not require any temporary disk space.
For remote installs, you will need approximately 933 MBs for placement of the client software and, then, for the install.
If using Live Update, you will need 4.5 GBs of temporary disk space. The location of the temporary disk space is designated in the 'workdir' setting in the /usr/openv/netbackup/nblu.conf file with /tmp being the default.
Valid Characters in Host Names Requirement
-
NetBackup requires host names to comply with RFC-1123, meaning only ASCII characters "a" thru "z", case insensitive, and digits "0" thru "9" and the hyphen character.

Virtual Systems Compatibility for Client | Back to top |
-
This Statement of Support for NetBackup in a Virtual Environment document describes the extent of support for NetBackup within a virtual environment. Ideally, every NetBackup configuration supported in a traditional physical environment would also be supported in any virtual environment without qualification. While that is our mission, it is not always possible.
Therefore, the purpose of this document is to:
• Clarify differences between NetBackup support in physical vs. virtual environments
• Describe general guidelines for support in virtual environments.
• Describe impact upon specific NetBackup components: clients, servers, options, etc.
• Provide references to related information.

Core NetBackup Deployments in the Cloud - Considerations
Subject | Notes |
Support assumptions | 1. NetBackup is supported on any cloud infrastructure environment that meets NetBackup's minimum resource requirements.
For details on operating systems supported by NetBackup, please refer to the
"NetBackup 8.0 - 8.x.x Operating System Software Compatibility List"
.
For details on NetBackup minimum resource requirements, please refer to
"Installation and upgrade requirements for UNIX and Linux"
or
"Installation and upgrade requirements for Windows and Windows clusters"
in the NetBackup Installation Guide.
2. Veritas does not certify the cloud compute layer or the cloud block storage layer. They are assumed to work as similar physical resources do. 3. NetBackup-certified cloud object storage support is listed in the vendor tables in the Cloud Storage Solutions section of this HCL. 4. NetBackup deployment templates are available for some operating systems and cloud infrastructure solutions. Supported templates are listed in the vendor tables below. For a quicker and easier NetBackup deployment, Veritas strongly recommends using these templates for deploying NetBackup instead of doing a manual NetBackup installation. For examples, see Setting up NetBackup CloudCatalyst in AWS and NetBackup in the Cloud - Guidelines for AWS Deployments . |

- Starting with NetBackup 8.3, you can add CloudPoint servers from the NetBackup web UI. You can manage CloudPoint and control discovery of assets from the NetBackup webUI, REST API, and CLI without interacting with the CloudPoint interfaces.
- You can upgrade to NetBackup Snapshot Manager from CloudPoint 2.x and later. If you are using a standalone CloudPoint server and want to use it along with NetBackup, you can migrate your CloudPoint server. For more information, see the Veritas NetBackup CloudPoint Install and Upgrade Guide.
NetBackup Snapshot Manager / CloudPoint - Considerations
Subject | Notes |
Vendor support considerations | 1. All storage configurations shown in the tables below were tested with drivers and firmware supported by the storage array vendors.
Check with these vendors for minimum driver and firmware levels, specific driver and firmware support, support for the stated Veritas products, and other functional options.
2. Veritas supports hardware products listed below that include virtualization capability, but Veritas does not support compatibility issues that can be attributed to the virtualization feature. Veritas requires any compatibility issue to be reproduced in a non-virtualization environment. If the issue is confirmed to be related to Veritas products, Veritas will support its software at the same level as when that software is not running with hardware virtualization products. Veritas will cooperate with virtualization vendors, and attempt to assist in the diagnosis of problems found between the virtualization and Veritas products. 3. Minor ("double-dot") versions of the software listed in the tables below are also supported. (Example: "v5.0" means versions v5.0.1, v5.0.2, etc. are also supported.) |

NetBackup Future Platform and Feature Plans | Back to top |
-
Veritas is committed to providing the best possible data protection experience for NetBackup customers on the widest variety of platforms, operating systems, databases, applications, and hardware. Veritas is continuously reviewing NetBackup's support of these items to ensure the proper balance of supporting their General Availability release, the very latest versions of new software, hardware and introducing new features and functionality and maintaining support for existing and older versions of these products and NetBackup functionality. While Veritas is continually adding support for new features, platforms, operating systems, and applications, it may be also necessary to improve, replace, or remove support in NetBackup for lesser used, older features, functionality, software, OS, databases, applications, integration with other products, and hardware that are no longer supported or nearing their end of support life from the manufacturer from NetBackup Compatibility Lists.
To better help its customers to plan for these upcoming changes to the support status of these items in NetBackup, Veritas will provide advanced notification as soon as possible as listed below. Veritas intends to list the older product functionality, features, hardware, OS, and 3rd party software products that will no longer be supported in the next release of NetBackup. If possible, these items are listed at least six months before that release.
The information below lists certain features, functionality, 3rd-party and Veritas products, applications, databases, and OS/Platforms for which Veritas intends to replace with newer and improved functionality, or in some cases, discontinue without replacement. The last release of NetBackup to proliferate support of the item is provided. Technotes in the Notes column contain additional details about available replacement options. Where a major, minor or release update version is specified, the feature or platform is supported through the last Maintenance Update (patch) of that release. Where 'All' is specified, it is supported for all versions or variations of the family of the relevant or supported platforms.
Check this site frequently for updated information for NetBackup. If an item listed below will cause significant business impacts, contact your Veritas Sales Account Team. Please note that the official NetBackup Support Lifecycle for your existing NetBackup product version won't be affected or altered in any way. For the official Veritas Support Lifecycle Policy of all NetBackup versions, see https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/terms/support-fundamentals.html.
