Installation

It is possible to install and configure VERITAS NetBackup on stand-alone systems or on heterogeneous client/server networks
supporting hundreds of clients. The administrator first installs software on the master server, then on media servers (if any),
and finally on the clients.
The entire install process is automated by Windows InstallShield wizards or installation scripts. When the software is installed
the administrator configures VERITAS NetBackup by using the administrator interfaces.
For UNIX clients, software is initially read into the server and subsequently pushed to the clients across the network as shown
in Figure 34. This greatly speeds the installation process because there is no need to install client software from CD on
individual clients. The administrator installs software upgrades in the same manner, quickly and easily across the network.
Windows NT/2000 clients are installed from an NT Domain or AD server or CD. PC and Macintosh client software is quickly
and easily installed on each client via CD. It is also possible to install the software so LAN file servers can share NetBackup
program files with its clients.
