Getting the storage server configuration
Symantec recommends that you get and save the storage server configuration. Getting and saving the configuration can help you with recovery of your environment.
If you get the configuration of a storage server that is unavailable because of a disaster, NetBackup returns a template configuration file.
To get the storage server configuration
◆On the master server, enter the following command:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig
For sshostname, use the name of the storage server. For file.txt, use a file name indicates its purpose.
Editing a storage server configuration file
In some very limited situations, you may need to create a storage server configuration file that includes the configuration settings for your environment.
For example, for disaster recovery you may need to edit a template file to create a configuration file for your environment.
