server list
The list of servers that a NetBackup client or server refers to when establishing or
verifying connections to NetBackup servers. On a Windows NT/2000 server and
Microsoft Windows clients, you update the list through a dialog box in the interface. On a
UNIX server and UNIX and Macintosh clients, the list is in the bp.conf file. On NetWare
target and OS/2 clients, the list is in the bp.ini file.
service
A program on a Windows NT/2000 system that runs in the background and performs
some task (for example, starting other programs when they are needed). Services are
generally referred to as daemons on UNIX systems.
session
An instance of NetBackup checking its schedules for backups that are due, adding them to
its worklist, and attempting to complete all jobs in the worklist. For user backups and
archives, a session usually consists of a single backup or archive.
Shared Storage Option (SSO)
See “multihosted drives.”
SMDR
Storage management data requestor, a Novell NetWare program that provides its services
transparently to all SMS modules and lets remote and local modules communicate with
one another.

standalone
A qualifier used with drives and media to indicate they are not associated with a robot.
For example, a standalone tape drive is one where you must manually find and insert
tapes before using them. A standalone volume is one that is located in a standalone drive
or is stored outside of a drive and designated as standalone in the volume configuration.
status code
A numerical code, usually accompanied by a message, that indicates the outcome of an
operation.
