Data Protector
The Data Protector cell is a network environment that has a Cell Manager, client
systems, and devices. the Cell manager is the central control point where Data
Protector software is installed. After installing Data Protector software, you can
add systems to be backed up. These systems become Data Protector client systems
that are part of the cell. When Data Protector backs up files, it saves them to media
in backup devices.
The Data Protector internal database (IDB) keeps track of all the files that you
back up so that you can browse and easily recover the entire system or single files.
Data Protector facilitates backup and restore jobs. You can do an immediate (or
interactive) backup using the Data Protector user interface. You can also schedule
your backups to run unattended.
