API or something else...

Hi!

I want to write a little tool for processing of Symantec NetBackup 8 reports. The main server of Symantec NetBackup running at Microsoft Windows Server 2012R2 but my application is develop for Linux platform. Can I get a remote access to reports of Symantec NetBackup using the some API? Or I need an export of reports at Windows and then transfer files to Linux for import to the application? Maybe someone may to share some links or sources of similar homebrew solution? :)
I no need OPS. It's a powerful solution but it not meet of my requirements.

Thanks!

There's two ways to extract the info:

1) Install NetBackup on your Linux box as a Media Server of the Master.  This will install the command line utilities associated with a Master/Media Server.  You can then run the commands there.  Media Servers don't always have to have any storage associated with them.

2) Run the commands on the Windows box in a DOS prompt and then FTP the results over to Linux for further processing.
