Backup and Restore Functional Description
242 NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide - UNIX
Restores - Macintosh Clients
NetBackup supports the same types of operations on Macintosh clients as it does for
UNIX clients. The next figure shows the client processes involved in restoring files to a
Macintosh.
◆ NetBackupBPRESTORE is a faceless background application that NetBackup
launches in order to start a user-directed restore.
◆ NetBackupCLIMAGELIST is a faceless background application that NetBackup
launches in order to get a list of backup images from the master server.
◆ NetBackupBPLIST is a faceless background application that NetBackup launches in
order to get a list of backed up files from the master server.
◆ The application extension NetBackupListen starts executing when the Macintosh is
booted and listens on the BPCD port number for backup requests from a NetBackup
server. When NetBackupListen gets a request, it launches the faceless background
application NetBackupBPCD.
◆ NetBackupBPCD handles the request in the same way as the UNIX bpcd.
NetBackupBPCD also includes NetBackup tar functionality.
The server processes are the same as described for UNIX.
