Starting the NetBackup Administration Console
Use the following procedures to open the NetBackup Administration Console to configure NetBackup. The Getting Started wizard guides you through the primary configuration steps to make NetBackup function.
Note:
Other wizards are available from the initial NetBackup Administration Console window that are not part of the Getting Started wizard. For example, you can configure disk pools or create a snapshot backup policy. See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I for complete information about all NetBackup wizards.
On Windows systems, if you clicked the check box that appears at the end of NetBackup installation, you can skip this procedure.
