Chapter 1: Introduction to NetWorker
Overview
MPE/iX is the operating system for Hewlett-Packard
®
HP 3000 business servers.
Legato NetWorker provides enterprise storage management capability to the
HP 3000-UNIX-NT coexistent market. Legato NetWorker Client/Storage Node,
MPE/iX Version, relies on HP’s TurboSTORE software to interface with MPE/iX.
The MPE/iX version of NetWorker provides HP customers with client-initiated
backup, recovery, archive, and retrieve capabilities using the command line from the
MPE/iX Command Interpreter (CI) or from the POSIX shell on the HP 3000.
NetWorker Server
Before installing the NetWorker software on your
HP 3000, you must install NetWorker
on a server. A NetWorker server is a computer running the NetWorker server software
with a backup device connected to it. The server provides backup and recover services
to all client computers on the network.
NetWorker Client
A client is a computer that accesses the NetWorker server to back up or to recover files.
Refer to the Legato Networker Installation Guide included with your NetWorker server
software for instructions on installing NetWorker on a server.
About NetWorker
NetWorker employs a client/server model to accomplish storage management tasks.
One or more NetWorker servers provide data protection services to clients on the
network.
With this release of NetWorker, you can designate a system with storage devices to act
as storage nodes of the NetWorker server. Storage nodes manage the media that
contain backed-up data, while the NetWorker server manages the information
required to administer the clients and to track and recover data.
