The process that accepts the jobs that the Policy Execution Manager (NBPEM) submits and acquires the necessary resources. The Job Manager then starts the job and informs nbpem that the job is completed.

nbpem

The process for the NetBackup Policy Execution Manager service.

It creates Policy/Client tasks and determines when jobs are due to run. If a policy is modified or if an image expires, NBPEM is notified and the appropriate Policy/Client tasks are updated.

nbproxy

nbrb

This process allocates storage units, tape drives, and client reservations for jobs. nbrb works with the Enterprise Media Manager (NBEMM).

nbrmms

The process for the NetBackup Remote Manager and Monitor service. Enables NetBackup to remotely manage and monitor resources on a system that are used for backup (or affected by backup activity).

nbsl

The process for the NetBackup Service Layer service.

nbsl facilitates the communication between the graphical user interface and NetBackup logic.

nbstserv

The process for the NetBackup Storage Lifecycle Manager. Manages storage lifecycle policy operations and schedules duplication jobs. Monitors disk capacity on capacity managed volumes and removes older images when required.

nbsvcmon

The process for the NetBackup Service Monitor. Monitors the NetBackup services. When a service unexpectedly terminates, nbsvcmon attempts to restart the terminated service.

nbvault

If Vault is installed, the process for the NetBackup Vault Manager service.

ndmp

NDMP is the acronym for Network Data Management Protocol. NDMP servers are designed to adhere to this protocol and listen on port 10000 for NDMP clients to connect to them.

oprd

The NetBackup Volume Manager (vmd) starts the oprd operator request daemon. This process receives requests to mount and unmount volumes and communicates the requests to the NetBackup Device Manager ltid. The NetBackup Device Manager communicates the requests to the robotics through SCSI interfaces.
