IntroductionAbout the NetWorker productThe EMC NetWorker product is a suite of storage management software thatprovides backup, recovery, and other services to computers with a wide variety ofoperating systems and data types. NetWorker products for different operatingsystems are interoperable. This provides the flexibility to design a storagemanagement system that works best with the current computing environment.The NetWorker software is distributed in these formats: In a media kit that contains the software and electronic documentation for severalrelated NetWorker products. As a downloadable archive file from the EMC website.The NetWorker product has five major components: NetWorker client NetWorker storage node NetWorker server NetWorker Management Console NetWorker License ManagerNetWorker clientThe NetWorker client software communicates with the NetWorker server andprovides recover and ad hoc (manual) backup functionality. The NetWorker clientsoftware is installed on all computers that are backed up to the NetWorker server.NetWorker clients do not have to be running the same operating system as theNetWorker server. However, to back up clients that are running other operatingsystems, the NetWorker server must have a NetWorker ClientPak enabler for thatclient. For example, in order for the NetWorker server for IRIX to back up NetWorkerclients that are running another operating system, a separate ClientPak enabler mustbe purchased and entered for that operating system.NetWorker storage nodeData can be backed up directly to devices that are attached to a NetWorker server, orto a NetWorker storage node. A storage node controls storage devices such as tapedrivers, autochangers, and silos.Storage nodes depend on the NetWorker server for these functions: Control over which clients use the storage node’s devices for backups License management Management of
