Software for Teradata Data Stream Architecture and Teradata Tiered Archive/Restore Architecture (TARA) runs on administrative servers, removing the workload from the database nodes. Teradata Corporation advocates using Symantec NetBackup as the core backup application product in the administrative servers. This allows Teradata backup procedures to integrate seamlessly with Symantec NetBackup so that Teradata Database backup datasets can be easily managed.
Appliance Backup Utility software components run on a Teradata Database node and the backup files are not compatible with the images that Symantec NetBackup creates and writes to tape or disk. You can only restore the backup files or Appliance Backup Utility backup datasets with the Appliance Backup Utility.
