Systems to be backed up

Client systems you want to back up must have the Data Protector Disk Agent (DA),

also called Backup Agent, installed. To back up online database integrations, install

the Application Agent. In the rest of the manual, the term Disk Agent will be used for

both agents. The Disk Agent reads or writes data from a disk on the system and sends

or receives data from a Media Agent. The Disk Agent is also installed on the Cell

Manager, thus allowing you to back up data on the Cell Manager, the Data Protector

configuration, and the IDB.

Systems with backup devices

Client systems with connected backup devices must have a Data Protector Media

Agent (MA) installed. Such client systems are also called Drive Servers. A backup

device can be connected to any system and not only to the Cell Manager. A Media

Agent reads or writes data from or to media in the device and sends or receives data

from the Disk Agent.

Systems with a user interface

You can manage Data Protector from any system on the network on which the Data

Protector graphical user interface (GUI) is installed. Therefore, you can have the Cell

Manager system in a computer room while managing Data Protector from your

desktop system.

Installation Server

The Installation Server holds a repository of the Data Protector software packages

for a specific architecture. The Cell Manager is by default also an Installation Server.

At least two Installation Servers are needed for mixed environments: one for UNIX

systems and one for Windows systems.

Operations in the cell

The Data Protector Cell Manager controls backup and restore sessions, which perform

all the required actions for a backup or restore, respectively, as shown in Figure

6 on page 43.
