About the agentless feature
If you want NetBackup to discover and protect assets on a host, but you want to minimize the vendor software footprint on the hosts, consider CloudPoint's agentless feature. Typically, when you use an agent, the software remains on the host at all times. In contrast, the agentless feature works as follows:
The CloudPoint software accesses the host through SSH.
CloudPoint performs the specified task, such as creating a snapshot.
When the task completes, CloudPoint software deletes itself from the host.
The CloudPoint agentless feature currently discovers and operates on Linux file system assets, Oracle database, and MongoDB database assets. The agentless feature is not supported for Microsoft Windows or Windows-based applications.
