This section describes Symantec NetBackup’s main functions and defines Symantec NetBackup terminology as it applies to Teradata Extension for NetBackup. Throughout the remainder of this book, the terms NetBackup and Symantec NetBackup are interchangeable.
For more details on NetBackup operations, refer to Symantec NetBackup documentation at https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.DOC5332.
In this book, the Teradata term archive is synonymous with the NetBackup term backup. Teradata terminology defines archive as storing Teradata Database data to media. The term archive, as used in NetBackup for non-Teradata applications, denotes storing files to media and removing them at their source upon successful completion. Teradata does not do that.
