1st. If using tape soley then use the catalog wizard and 2 tapes in the

Right click on catalog and configure it to write to a disk area as

Use a seperate media pool called Veritras_5.0.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] About catalog backups...
I have a question for anyone that has Netbackup 5.0 on a Windows
platform...=20
What's the best way to automagically back up to tape the catalog files?=20
I keep having to do it manually, and it's a pain.=20
Everytime, I gotta move the tape to the Netbackup volume group.=20
Then, I gotta changed the media ID to the tape I just moved into the
volume group, and eventually backup that way.=20
Is there a way to automate it, either with a batch job or with the
console itself?=20
I just want it to be as simple as "backup the catalog every morning at
8:00 AM to tape in slot 7" or something along those lines.=20
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
