NetBackup for Windows NT and Windows 2000
NetBackup is available for Windows NT and Windows 2000 as both a server and client. The NetBackup client software for
NT/2000 provides backup and disaster recovery services for mission critical NT/2000 systems, including NTFS and FAT file
system types, Microsoft SQL Server databases, and Microsoft Exchange application environments. Online file system backups
are supported through the use of Open Transaction Manager included with NetBackup DataCenter at no extra cost and
offered as an option to NetBackup BusinesServer. NetBackup also supports online full and partial (hive level) backup and
restore of the NT registry, as well as the ability to restore individual keys within the registry if needed. All of the unique
Windows 2000 attributes and data types are protected as well, including the System State, Active Directory, reparse points,
disk quota information and other Windows 2000 attributes.
The Windows NT/2000 NetBackup Server software is a re-implementation of NetBackup to the Windows NT/2000 platform
rather than simply a port from UNIX. The user and administrative GUIs have been completely redesigned to the Wins32
interface specification and the Microsoft Windows style guide. NetBackup also utilizes Microsoft standard services such as
the NT Event log and InstallShield installation.
Just as important, the NetBackup server on Windows delivers the same enterprise class capabilities and performance as the
UNIX version of NetBackup. For example, a Windows NT/2000 NetBackup master server can administer all the UNIX and
Windows NetBackup servers across a LAN or WAN from a single screen, greatly reducing administrative costs. Large robotics
devices can be shared between Windows and UNIX servers. Your NetBackup investment can grow as your Windows
environment grows by simply adding another remote NetBackup server and local robot and managing it from the centralized
management interface.
Remote Administration
NetBackup administrators can remotely administer UNIX or Windows NT/2000 NetBackup servers without having to
physically be located at the server's console. System administrators can manage any UNIX or Windows NT/2000 NetBackup
servers from any UNIX or Windows NT/2000 system using basic NetBackup server software. No third party remote access
software is required.
Microsoft SQL Server Online Database Backup
VERITAS NetBackup supports high speed, online backups of Microsoft SQL Server Release 6.5 and 7.x databases and all
associated log files, including SQL Server 2000. DBAs can quickly restore the complete SQL server database or individual files
and file groups to any point in time with the easy to use administration GUI.
Microsoft Exchange Hot Backup
VERITAS NetBackup utilizes the Microsoft Exchange APIs to perform online backups of the Microsoft Exchange Information
Store and Directory along with all associated transaction log files. NetBackup supports advanced Exchange roll-forward and
roll-back operations to enable Exchange databases to be restored to any point in time, a key requirement of many large-scale
Exchange environments.
VERITAS NetBackup for Exchange utilizes the Exchange Messaging API (MAPI) to enable "brick-level" backups of Exchange
mailboxes, allowing individual mailboxes, folders or e-mail messages to be easily recovered. Administrators no longer need to
rely on a spare server to restore individual messages from Exchange.
