User Interfaces - VERITAS NetBackup White Paper

Other screens allow the administrator to configure media for use under Media Manager or to perform other tasks related to
Media Manager configuration and administration.
A site administrator can even define custom menus and menu commands for the administrator graphical user interfaces.
These menus will appear on the main window of the interface and contain whatever commands the administrator has added
to them.
Several wizards have been designed to step novice users through common setup and configuration tasks. These wizards
simplify and accelerate the process of adding devices, media or backup classes and reduce the likelihood of error.

User Interfaces

Users can initiate backups, restores, and archives from their client workstation without logging into the server and without
administrator intervention (Figure 32).
Figure 32: NetBackup user interface.
Figure 33 shows a typical user interface screen for VERITAS NetBackup users. This example shows the restore screen where
users can scroll through the list of backed up or archived files and select those to be restored on the client disk. A menu
version of this interface provides the same functionality from a character-based terminal. In addition, a command line
interface enables users to create their own shell scripts to perform client-directed operations.
