Using Your Backup Software
• The default mount point for virtual copy backups is:
<system drive>:\3parSnapshot
• You must manually synchronize backups. If a backup expires in your backup software, you
must manually remove the backup from Recovery Manager. If you remove a valid backup
from Recovery Manager, you must manually remove it from your backup software.
• Recovery Manager does not track restore progress. You must use your backup software to
monitor restore progress.
• For more information about using CLI commands with your backup software, see RMSql
backup, RMSql deletebackup, RMSql listbackup, and RMSql restore in “Using
the Recovery Manager CLI” (page 42).
• For more information about using your backup software to back virtual copies up to media,
see “Backing Up a Virtual Copy” (page 36).
• For more information about using your backup software to restore virtual copies from media,
see “Restoring Instances, Databases, and Volumes” (page 38).
Using Symantec NetBackup
• Symantec NetBackup software is case-sensitive. If you are using NetBackup, make sure all
information entered pertaining to the policy is supplied with the proper case.
• Any time you are using NetBackup to back up to media or restore from media, you can monitor
the progress using the progress log:
<RM installation location>\log\nbulog\database_timestamp.log
• To modify the timeout value for NetBackup software initialization, see “Understanding the
Registry” (page 17).
Using HP Data Protector
For each HP Data Protector backup you create, a postscript (.bat) file is created in the $DP_HOME\
bin folder (where $DP_HOME is the Data Protector install location; for example, C:\ program
files\Omniback.) This script cleans up after the associated backup is complete.
Note that Recovery Manager does not clean these postscripts. After a backup is complete (either
successfully or with failures), you can manually remove the associated postscript batch file if desired.
