TELEMETRY_UPLOAD option for NetBackup servers

TELEMETRY_UPLOAD allows NetBackup to collect data about how the product is used in a NetBackup environment. The information becomes part of a continuous quality improvement program (NetBackup Product Improvement Program) that helps the NetBackup development and support teams understand how customers configure, deploy, and use the NetBackup product. The data is used for only product development and problem analysis purposes in the company.

The telemetry collection agent runs on every NetBackup server and every OpsCenter server. The telemetry collection agent does not run on NetBackup clients.
