Using the NetBackup Database Administration utility

Upon starting the NetBackup Database Administration utility, the user must enter the DBA password.

If the password is the default password that is used during NetBackup installation (nbusql), the administrator is encouraged, but not required, to change the password.

The NetBackup Database Administration screen displays contains the following information:
