We had reinstalled our Netbackup 6.0 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.5 and it is completed.<br />
<br />
Need to configure the media management.<br />
The servers to be backed up are oracle database servers on daily basis. Tried with initial config steps for media but was not successful. <br />

Any guidelines for media management separately. Would like to know the concept of labelling the tapes, volume pool and assigning them to invoke the appropriate tapes as per backup policy creation.

Media Management Netbackup

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
