NetBackup
Veritas NetBackup is based on a client /server architecture. Each NetBackup client and server belongs to a storage domain. A storage domain consists of a single master server, its associated media servers, and NetBackup clients. The master server controls and directs all NetBackup operations in its storage domain. Each media server controls the backup devices it is connected to. A media server can have one master server only, but a master server can control more than one media server. The NetBackup clients are any systems containing data to be backed up. A master server can acts as a media server, and both are capable of acting as clients. The NetBackup master server is the manager of the storage domain. An administrator can control all NetBackup functions in the storage domain from the master server. t manages all backups, archives and restores. The NetBackup client is any system !ith data to be backed up. The client soft!are is tailored to the operating system on !hich it is installed. Normally, a client operates under the control of the master server according to the policies and schedules set forth by the administrator. A backup client accesses the storage media through a media server. The NetBackup media server hosts one or more backup devices. "edia servers are directed by the master server and provide additional storage by enabling NetBackup to use the storage devices they control. "edia servers can also increase performance by distributing the net!ork load. A NetBackup master server may function as a media server, client may also function as a media server. NetBackup manages client data in incremental called backup images. A backup image originates from a single client and may consist of a file, a directory, a file system, a partition, or a database. The NetBackup file database on the master server contains detailed information about each backup image such as the filename of each file backed up, the backup time, si#e, permissions, and o!nership. An entry for each backup image is !ritten in the master server$s volume database that maps the backup images to the volumes !here they are stored.

"edia contents report & t sho!s the contents of a volume as read directly from the media header and backup header. mages on media report & *ists the contents of the media as recorded in the NetBackup image catalog. "edia log report & t sho!s media errors or informational messages that are recorded in the NetBackup error catalog. "edia summary report & t summari#es active and non active volumes for the specified server according to e,piration date.
