All
I’ve been doing deep dive in NetBackup 7.5 and the benefits involved.
One of the greatest enhancements with this release is Opscenter and the role it is going to play in the future restores
Netbackup Opscenter 7.5 comes for free and the comes with the FREE feature of “operational restore”
Operational restore allows searching files acorss multiple Netbackup
domains (master servers) and does not need any special licensing and\or
hardware.
I also read in great depth about Netbackup 7.5 “Search and Hold” This
can also search files across the multiple NetBackup domain (master
servers). However this has following requirements
- Search and Hold License to activate the same in opscenter
- Separate Index server (new role with Netabckup 7.5)
My question is why should an organization consider investing in
search and hold license and buying expensive hardware for the index
server when the same can be furnished by the operational restore feature
