Specify particular save sets ex: index: bootstrap would make sure bootstrap and index backup from all clients go to particular poo l 3. level: particular levels that should go to this media. Browse and retention policies on media policy on pool has larger policy then the clinet Clinet associates with Groups depending on different save sets, client can be cr eated as a different instance and assocaite with groups. server compares save set chars to the set of arrs of each pool, first checking G roup, then Clinet, save set, then level If no space is available in pool, it would check for new media or recycle in poo l. if not, depeding on 'recycle to other media pools' and 'recycle from other media pols' it would check for recyclable/expired tapes in other pools if not- need to have AMM(auto media mgmt)- to automatically lable newly availabl e device. then change to 'waiting for media' NOTE: if backup is being done to a particular pool(on different SN) then need to ensure that the media pool has one volume on the local N/w Server Clone Pools/Cloning: 1.

Start all services. MMRECOV needs ALL S ERVICES STARTED Ensure a bootstrap id is noted(present in events/daemon.raw/scanner -B)(mminfo B); bootstrap device needs to be local # mmrecov Provide the device name, SSID Now recover would overwrite mm and create res.R, rename it to res Start services, Inventory nsrjb -I Incase the bootstrap is not latest, mark volumes as scan needed. Then once done, scan and populate the entries( delete from index and mm , load w ithout mount, scanner -i) This would popolute all entries for volume post the boostrap CFI: If you choose not to recover a client s index, you must use nsrck to create a n empty CFI prior to the next backup of the client: nsrck client_name To recovery CFIs nsrck -L7 Firewall: Service Ports(Default) : 7937-9936 if v <= 7.5 : 7937 and 7938 mandate if v => 7.6 : 7937 mandate Note that nsrexecd on every type of NetWorker host will always try to listen on ports 7937 and 7938. Rest can be changed. Clinet: nsrexecd: needs 4 min ports for basic functionality. For Sofware administration add one. FOr Remote FS browse add one.
