Requirements for Local Installations

Ensure that the following requirements are met before installing:

Remove any other vendor’s backup software currently configured on your system before
installing NetBackup. The backup software of another vendor can negatively affect how
NetBackup installs and functions.

◆ System configuration necessary to install NetBackup on a Windows-based server:

An Intel Pentium system running Windows 2000 with a minimum of 256 MB of memory and
service pack 4 installed, or Windows 2003 server.

Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.

Screen resolution configuration of at least 1024x768, 256 colors.

An Administrator account and password for the server.

◆ Adequate disk space: VERITAS recommends that you have a total of 1 GB of storage space to
accommodate the NetBackup server software and NetBackup catalogs. The following items
provide a basic itemization of the disk space requirements.

◆ Intel server software requires approximately 512 MB.

NetBackup catalogs contain information about your backups and become larger as you use the
product. The amount of disk space the catalogs require depends primarily on the number of
files backed up, the frequency of your backups, and the amount of time you chose to retain
your backup data. VERITAS suggests that you allow a minimum of 512 MB.

VERITAS suggests an NTFS partition.

◆ NetBackup services and port numbers must be the same across the network.

VERITAS suggests that you use the default port settings for NetBackup services and Internet
service ports. If you modify the port numbers, they must be the same for all NetBackup systems
that communicate with each other (that is, all master servers, media servers, and clients). The
port entries are in the following file:

%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\services
▼ To initiate the Tape Device Driver Install wizard

Note Complete this wizard before you configure the NetBackup software.

1. Log on as Administrator to the system from which you are installing NetBackup.
2. Insert the NetBackup CD in the drive.
If Autorun is enabled, the VERITAS NetBackup installation browser starts automatically.
If Autorun is disabled, navigate to the CD drive and runLaunch.exe.
3. On the VERITAS installation browser, click the link Additional Product Installations >
NetBackup Tape Device Driver. The NetBackup Tape Installer wizard appears.

4. Complete the wizard to install the latest device drivers for your storage device.

The nbpushdata command enables NetBackup to get copies of the existing database files (a
subset of the NetBackup catalogs) from each host and places this data in a new EMM database.

EMM: Enterprise media manager.

Installing NetBackup Server Software


When you install NetBackup server software for the first time, VERITAS recommends that
you install NetBackup in the following sequence:

1. Master servers

2. NetBackup Enterprise Server only: Media servers, if any

3. NetBackup Remote Administration Console, if any

4. NetBackup clients

5. Any NetBackup add-on products
