Backup and restore startup process
When the NetBackup primary server starts up, a script automatically starts all of the services, daemons, and programs that NetBackup requires. (The startup commands that the script uses vary according to the platform.)
The same is true on a media server. NetBackup automatically starts additional programs as required, including robotic daemons.
For more information about SAN client and Fibre Transport startup processes, see the NetBackup SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide.
Note:
No daemons or programs need to be explicitly started. The necessary programs are started automatically during the backup or restore operation.
A daemon that executes on all servers and clients is the NetBackup client daemon, bpcd. On UNIX clients, inetd starts bpcd automatically so no special actions are required. On Windows clients, bpinetd performs the same functions as inetd.
Note:
All NetBackup processes on UNIX can be started manually by running the following: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp.start_all
