NetBackup provides data protection. Administrators can schedule automatic, unattended backups for client systems across a network. NetBackup users can also manually back up and restore data from their computer.

NetBackup server software resides on the computer that manages storage devices. NetBackup client software resides on the computer that contains data to back up. There is also a Media Manager that manages tape and optical disk storage devices.

Multiple servers can work together under the administrative control of the NetBackup master server. The master server manages backup and restore operations. It also directs media servers, which control additional storage devices. A master server can also function as a media server. During a backup operation, the client sends backup data across the network to a NetBackup server that manages the type of storage specified in the backup policy. During a restore operation, users can select the data to recover. NetBackup restores the data to the disk on the client system.

The following figure illustrates a simple NetBackup configuration.
