Re: [Veritas-bu] NBAC vs hot catalog

Page 203 of Security and Encryption Guide :


        Including authentication and authorization databases in NetBackup hot 
catalog backups
        In NetBackup environments using the online hot catalog backup method: no
        additional configuration is needed to include the Symantec Product 
Authentication
        Service and Symantec Product Authorization Service databases in the 
catalog
        backup.
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        Note: Hot catalog backup does not run in the NBAC mode REQUIRED.
        ----------------------------------------------------------------

Which I believe is weird because on 1 side you want to secure NetBackup but on 
the other side you can no longer take any backups of your catalog.  Not even 
cold ones because this is no longer supported as of NBU 7.
We contacted Symantec support and they do not have any workaround for this.

Why do think that hot catalog backup does not work or is not supported with 
NBAC?
