NetBackup™ Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide

Best practices: NetBackup AdvancedDisk

With AdvancedDisk, NetBackup can fully use file systems native to the host operating system of the media server. NetBackup assumes full ownership of the file systems and also uses the storage server capabilities of the host operating system.

AdvancedDisk does not require any specialized hardware. AdvancedDisk disk types are managed as disk pools within NetBackup.
