Question

How can I backup a solaris sun system?

Answer

It is set up with a central master server that manages both media servers (containing the backup media) and clients. Multiple NetBackup environments can be managed by NetBackup Operations Manager (NOM) which is bundled with the NetBackup 6.0 distribution, which replaces the Global Data Manager (GDM) component used in previous versions. NetBackup comes with support for many hardware devices like tape drives, tape libraries, disk units, and supports, amongst many others, hot backups for major database products like Oracle, can use Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP), and has tape vaulting. NetBackup also enables LAN-Free and server-free backups in SAN fabric environments.
