The Symantec NetBackup environment includes a NetBackup server, one or more media servers, and one or more client machines. The IBM® Netezza® host is a NetBackup client machine.
You install the 32-bit NetBackup Client for Linux software on the Netezza host and the Netezza components communicate with the NetBackup client software to perform backup and restore operations. The Netezza components do not assume any specific media, but instead rely on the NetBackup Media Server for configuration of the media server and storage devices. The Netezza solution has been tested with NetBackup versions 6.5 and 7.1.
