Veritas NetBackup (earlier Symantec NetBackup) is an enterprise level heterogeneous backup and recovery suite. It provides cross-platform backup functionality to a large variety of Windows, UNIX and Linux operating systems. It is set up with a central ''master'' server that manages both ''media servers'' (containing the backup media) and clients. Core server platforms are, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Tru64, Linux and Windows. Multiple NetBackup environments can be managed by NetBackup OpsCenter, which is bundled with the NetBackup 7.0 distribution, which replaces the NetBackup Operations Manager (NOM) component used in previous versions. NetBackup comes with support for many hardware devices like tape drives, tape libraries, disk units, and supports, amongst many others, hot backups for major database products like Oracle, can natively backup and restore the virtual machines of major virtualization products like VMware Infrastructure, can use Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP), and has tape vaulting. NetBackup also enables LAN-free and server-free backups in SAN fabric environments. == History == *In 1987, Chrysler Corporation engaged Control Data Corporation to write a backup software solution. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://docs.google.com/file/d/1YcqxseBskdUWKvcAPSY6t1-hYARyTLw519PJCYoUqaRlEYJVm6p-pBNqKyBA/edit?usp=sharing )〕 A small group of engineers (Rick Barrer, Rosemary Bayer, Paul Tuckfield and Craig Wilson) wrote the software. Other Control Data customers later adopted it for their own needs. *In 1990, Control Data formed the Automated Workstation Backup System business unit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://business.highbeam.com/436948/article-1G1-9635537/cdc-announces-backup-system-unix-lan )〕 The first version of AWBUS supported two tape drives in a single robotic carousel with the SGI IRIX operating system. 〔 *In 1993, Control Data renamed the product to BackupPlus 1.0 (this is why many NetBackup commands have a 'bp' prefix). Software improvements included support for media Volume Management and Server Migration/Hierarchical Storage Management. *In late 1993, OpenVision Technologies acquired the product and Control Data’s Storage Management 12-person team. This is why, on UNIX platforms, NetBackup installs into /usr/openv. During this time, OpenVision renamed Backup Plus to NetBackup.〔 *On May 6, 1997 Veritas acquired OpenVision Technologies, including absorption of the NetBackup product line.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://articles.latimes.com/1997-01-14/business/fi-18350_1_openvision-technologies )〕 *In 2004 Symantec acquired Veritas and NetBackup became a Symantec product.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/12/16/symantec_veritas_merger/ )〕 Also at that time, Symantec released NetBackup 6.0, the 30th version of the software. *In 2015 Symantec announced they would be splitting off the Information Management Business which contains NetBackup, into a new public company named Veritas Technologies Corporation. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20150128005176/en/Symantec-Selects-Veritas-Technologies-Corporation-Independent-Information )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NetBackup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
