Why is Backup Server managed file replication beneficial?

WhyisBackupServermanagedfilereplicationbeneficial?
WithoutDDBoost,replicationisinitiatedandmanagedbytheDataDomainsystem.TheBackup

Why is Backup Server awareness of the replica Data Domain system beneficial?

a. Create mount points (directories)
b. Mount Data Domain directories on the new mount points
c. Modify /etc/fstab to mount directories at every boot
d. Create a backup directory on the NetBackup Server
Once the NFS Mount procedure is completed, create and copy the file from the Server to the

To troubleshoot Joining

Domain issues,
issues check physical and transport connectivity
between the two components, mainly TCP connectivity.
On the Data Domain system, check to make sure the time on the Data Domain system is within
5 minutes of the Active Directory Server.
Also, check to make sure that the backup user specified on the Data Domain system is a valid
user on the Active Directory Domain with at minimum Operator privileges.
The command # CIFS Troubleshooting list-users can help with narrowing down any issues.

To troubleshoot Client
Client Access
Access issues,

On the Data Domain system, check to make sure the Media server host is allowed as a
Backup Client.
Also check to make sure that there are no stale Kerberos Tickets.
