Managing the Data Protector Internal Database

Configuring the IDB

In environments where the Cell Manager is used heavily and the time needed to perform the check of the IDB creates a problem, you may need to disable the Check Internal database option. In such cases, consider the following suggestions:

•Schedule the IDB backup with the IDB check option enabled to be performed when the automatic check activity is acceptable.

•Schedule the daily IDB backup with the IDB check option disabled.

•Keep at least the most recent checked IDB backup.

For detailed steps, refer to the online Help index keyword “disabling automatic IDB checks”.
