We have the same issue, but worse, we have so many user initiated =
backups we have to force a catalog backup at certain times. You will =
lose any jobs that are currently writing and might have some corruption =
from open image files, but you will get anything that wasn't written or =
open just before the catalog backup was iniated. So it is better then =
NOT backing up the catalog ;)

Hi everyone.
=20
I have an Netbackup 4.5 installation  and quite time between backups is =
scarce. When they do have time they manually initiate catalog backups.
Unfortunatly the site has operators that run user-initiated backups. So =
I see backups running in parallel with the catalog backups.
The question is if this is acceptable behaviour for NetBackup 4.5. Will =
I have problems with the catalog backup?
In NBU 3.4 when you ran catalog backups, no other jobs (manual or =
scheduled) could run before the catalog backup completes.
=20
But in 4.5 I see that you can. Has anybody similar issues? I cant find =
any documentation or technotes indicating that this behaviour is wrong =
or right.
=20
Any ideas?
