NetBackup works with Novell's Storage Management Services (SMS) to perform backups of the NetWare server. Storage Management Services (SMS) provides a standard for data, devices, media, and storage management interfaces that in turn produce storage management products that are extensible and compatible.

With SMS, changes in one module are unlikely to cause changes in another module. For example, when releasing a new NetWare OS, Novell can release an SMS module that allows existing SMS-compatible products to service the new OS.
