About Vault and NetBackup functions
NetBackup Vault uses existing NetBackup functions for all operations, such as duplication of images, media control, reporting, and ejecting and injecting of tapes. Information from Vault is integrated with other NetBackup components and appears in the NetBackup Activity Monitor.
NetBackup Vault interacts with the following NetBackup services and catalogs:
Media Manager, which manages robots and media
The NetBackup catalog and the Media Manager database record of the images that have been vaulted
The Media Manager database information which determines when expired media can be returned to the robot for reuse
The Activity Monitor which displays the status of the Vault job
Figure: Services interaction diagram shows the NetBackup, Media Manager, and Vault relationships.
