About the NetBackup relational database
NetBackup installs Sybase SQL Anywhere during the master server installation as a private, non-shared server for the NetBackup database. The NetBackup database (NBDB) is also known as the Enterprise Media Manager (EMM) database. It contains information about volumes, and the robots and drives that are in NetBackup storage units.
The same installation of Sybase SQL Anywhere is used for the optionally-licensed product, Bare Metal Restore (BMR) database. The BMRDB database contains the information that the NetBackup Bare Metal Restore option manages. The BMR database is created during the BMR installation process.
