Backup employs a client/server model to accomplish storage management tasks.
One or more Backup servers provide data protection services to clients on the
network.
To add a client to the Backup server's list of systems to back up, first install the
Backup client software appropriate for the client's operating system on the client
system. Then, configure a client resource for that system on the Backup server. The
Backup server only provides backup and recovery services to clients with a
configured resource on the server. Refer to the nsrman page for a comprehensive
description of the access control policies employed by the Backup server.
This release of Backup includes optional software that allows you to designate
systems with storage devices to act as storage nodes of the Backup server. Storage
node machines manage the media that contain backed-up data, while the Backup
server manages information required to administer the clients and to track and
recover data. Use the Backup administration program to affiliate Backup clients to a
storage node for backup and recovery requests. The distribution of media
management tasks to other systems on the network reduces the load placed on the
controlling Backup server and provides a means to manage remote storage
management tasks across a distributed enterprise network from a central location.
Backup supports a variety of media types, including 4 mm, 8 mm, optical disk,
digital linear tape (DLT), and disk file. Backup also supports a wide variety of
devices attached to a Backup server or a designated storage node, either as a
standalone device or in an autochanger or silo tape library. To obtain the latest list of
