Performing Backups Containing HDFS Storage Locations
After you configure Hadoop and Vertica, HDFS storage locations are automatically backed up when you perform a full database backup. If you already have a backup configuration file for a full database backup, you do not need to make any changes to it. You just run the vbr backup script as usual to perform the full database backup. See Creating Full Backups in the Administrator's Guide for instructions on running the vbr backup script.
If you do not have a backup configuration file for a full database backup, you must create one to back up the data in your HDFS storage locations. See Creating vbr Configuration Files in the Administrator's Guide for more information.
