Veritas NetBackup Objects

CA SRM collects information about the following Veritas NetBackup objects:

Master Servers

Objects representing the master server that controls the backup procedure, together with the media servers in the domain. The master server is the root object.

Media Servers

Objects representing distributed servers that handle media procedures such as read, write, import, export, and mount.

Drives

Objects representing a physical device used to write to a volume.

Robots

Objects used to control volume movement inside a library.

Volumes

Objects that store data for a long period of time.

Storage Units

Used to store backups. A storage unit is one or more storage devices of a specific type and density that attach to a NetBackup server.

Storage Unit Groups

Logical grouping of storage devices. You can specify a storage unit group name as a policy, in the same manner as you specify individual storage units.

Pools

A distinct set of media that can be used only by the users and hosts that you designate when you configure the pool.

Jobs

Jobs that have run, both successful and unsuccessful.

Policies

Series of clients, files, schedules, pools, and storage units.

Clients

Computers to be backed up.

Files

Files and directories to be backed up.

Schedules

Control when backups and archives occur for the clients. This can be based on hours, days, and weeks with exceptions.

Errors

Objects containing information about backup errors and the client that it affects.

Backup Images

Backup image currently stored. When Using Veritas Net Backup 4.5, BSRM cannot display any Backup Image Data.
