    Hi StefanosM,

    Additionally I have a few more questions.

    1-Can I use the Netbackup agent on mainframe systems? If the answer is yes, what method should I follow for vm and linux backup? If the answer is no, what is the reason?

    2-Is the Netbackup agent a product used more for open systems rather than mainframes?

    Thanks.
