keeps the names of these workstations in an internal list and displays the
list, allowing you to select a target for a backup or restore procedure.
The SBCON process involves two machines:
 The host server is typically the NetWare server running the backup
program. The SMS components will include the backup engine, the
SMDR, the Storage Device Driver, the tape device, and the required
Target Service Agents.
 A target server is the NetWare server that contains the data to be backed
up or restored. Depending on the data to be backed up, the appropriate
Target Service Agent must be loaded.
SBCON can also be loaded and used on one machine.
SBCON uses an application on the host server to communicate with modules
on target devices. The application reads the information from the target device
and sends it to a storage medium, such as a tape drive.
