Master server. The NetBackup master server manages backups and restores of the protected client systems. BMR server

Media servers. NetBackup media servers control storage devices on which the client files are stored.

Boot servers. Boot servers provide the environment that is required to rebuild a protected client, including resources such as shared resource trees (SRT).For UNIX and Linux systems, a boot server also provides the resources used to boot the client system when it performs a network boot prior to restore.

Shared resource treescontain the operating system software, NetBackup client and additional software that are used to rebuild the protected system so that NetBackup can restore the original files.

Bare Metal Restore Overview

Each client type and operating system version requires its own SRT. For example:

Solaris 9 requires a Solaris 9 SRT, Windows Server 2003 requires a Windows Server 2003 SRT, and so on. Windows SRTs require the appropriate service packs. If you have some Windows XP protected clients at Service Pack 1 and others at Service Pack 2, you need two SRTs

Clients. Clients are the systems backed up by NetBackup and protected by BMR. A client may also be a server for other applications or data, a NetBackup media server, or a BMR boot server.
