i'm trying to understand how all the different components fit together for NetBackup. if this is not the place, kindly point me where should i post.
years ago, backup is composed of the following:
- backup software
- plugins (to handle open files) like for sqlserver
- tape drive (either single or tape library)
that was fine. now comes NetBackup and PureDisk and MSDP and NetBackup Appliance and NetBackup realtime and so on.
from this thread, https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/netbackup-media-server-deduplication it is my understanding that NetBackup and PureDisk does the same thing: backup and deduplication. and we bought both of them!
can someone please clarify (maybe provide a block diagram) of how NetBackup and PureDisk fits (or not fit).
