Overview of Legato NetWorker
Legato NetWorker is a software product for network storage management. A
NetWorker client is a machine on the network configured to have its files
automatically backed up by the NetWorker server.
The NetWorker server is a machine on your network that runs the NetWorker
server software, stores the client indexes and media database, and provides
backup and recover services to the clients on the network. Once your system
administrator installs NetWorker on your HP 3000 and configures a
NetWorker server to recognize your HP 3000 as a NetWorker client, then
NetWorker can do a server-initiated backup of your HP 3000 automatically. Refer
to the Legato NetWorker Administrator’s Guide for information on configuring
your HP 3000 as a NetWorker client on a NetWorker server.
With the NetWorker ClientPak for MPE/iX, you can also perform client-
initiated backups. Once you back up your data from either the server or from the
client, you can use the NetWorker ClientPak to recover any lost or damaged
data. NetWorker for MPE/iX backs up and recovers your entire MPE file
system with permissions and the hierarchical file systems (HFS) intact.
Archiving involves long-term storage of data on media called archive volumes.
Archive volumes are similar to backup volumes, but are stored for very long
periods of time and are not automatically recycled.They are also not browsable
if you want to recover them.
