LINUX NFS MOUNT BACKUP

Old thread, should still hold true:  https://www.veritas.com/community/forums/what-exact-difference-between-netbackup-enterprise-server-75-and-netbackup-server

In real life, netbackup server is a netbackup domain consist of a master server, clients and agents

No media servers, no san media servers, no VM support and no API robots.

will I am not geting you point dear, I need simple answer as master server is by default media server and client as well so if I quote only netbackup server will this work in my scenario or I need to add some other agents?

Can you have 1 server acting as master, media and client? Sure you can. But is it the right architecture? it depends. How many other clients are you going to backup, how much data, how often etc etc.

dera customer have only 100GB of data on NFS Mount point on linux and they only want to backup that NFS files not more than that. I tried to convince them but they want Netbackup on the same server.

Is this for backup or archive, what is the frequency and retention requirement? What is your backup storage going to be?

If all you need is to backup 100GB of NFS share regularly, you may not even need to get a netbackup software. It's like trying to kill a mouse with a tank. 

:) you are right but customer only want netbackup even I proposed them them backup exec, they have 100GB Data on linux NFS mount and want to backup daily full backup to the standalone tape LTO-5.

Standalone tape? No autoloader? meaning that someone will manually mount tapes on daily/weekly basis? So they want to spend $$ of the top software but be on the cheap on the HW? I would suggest to get a low-end autoloader like dell TL1000 and get a cheaper software :)

But if you insist, I guess it can still work (albeit painfully w/ standalone tape drive)

unfortunately everyone is trying to route the solution to the other side, I just asked a very simple question will NetBackup Standard Server gona work or not? or I need to add any other agent or options. only standalone drive, one linux server with NFS 100GB Flatfiles, netbackup is installed on the same linux machine.

strange indeed. one can just use tar to do the backup.
