About Veritas NetBackup

Veritas NetBackup provides backup, archive, and restore capabilities for database

files and directories contained on client systems in a client-server network.

NetBackup server software resides on platforms that manage physical backup

storage devices. The NetBackup server provides robotic control, media

management, error handling, scheduling, and a repository of all client backup

images.

Administrators can set up schedules for automatic, unattended full and

incremental backups. These backups are managed entirely by the NetBackup

server. The administrator can also manually back up clients. Client users can

perform backups, archives, and restores from their client system, and once started,

these operations also run under the control of the NetBackup server.
