Veritas NetBackup™ Logging Reference Guide

Windows client restore

NetBackup supports the same types of operations on Windows clients as it does for UNIX clients.

The following are the Windows processes involved in restore operations:

  • NBWIN is the user interface program on the client. The bpbackup function and the bparchive function are merged into NBWIN.

  • BPINETD serves the same purpose as inetd on UNIX clients.

  • The NetBackup client daemon is called BPCD.

  • TAR32 is part of NetBackup for Windows and serves the same purpose as NetBackup nbtar on UNIX.

Note:

To restore Backup Exec images, bpbrm invokes mtfrd.exe instead of tar32.exe on the clients. The server processes are the same as those used for NetBackup restores.

The server processes are the same as described for UNIX.

Figure: Restore - Windows client shows the client processes involved in these operations.
