This is a MAJOR case of RTFM.
 
Sugar coated advice is nice, but nobody should be running a production
Netbackup environment without reading the application vendor's
documentation on how to actually backup and restore the master server.

        This is where your NetBackup Catalog backups come into play, and
your Disaster Recovery method to get the Server back in the event of a
hardware or software problem.
         
        It should be in the Admin Guides.
         
        For the record, I dont backup the catalog backups via NetBackup
as I believe they are excluded anyhow.
         
        As long as you have a method of backing up your system (ie:
Windows OS, System Vol, have the necessary software), and a good catalog
backup of NetBackup, you should be fine.
         
        You could also look at drive imaging software too - ghost for
example, backup exec recovery manager, True Image, ect !
         
        I have 3 methods to get my systems back - never rely on one
method!

                Greetings Everyone,
                 
                Just a quick question - How does everyone backup there
Master Server? Im running NBU 6 MP4 on W2K3 and I tried doing a full
backup (ALL LOCAL DRIVES AND SYSTEM STATE). Of course I got several DB
errors saying the process was open or being used by another program. 
                 
                What if my master server crashes? What do I do? I have
no Media Servers in my setup. Please give me all feedback possible.
                 
                Thanks Alot,
                Anas
