Cross-Platform Management

Backup is a cross-platform storage management product. You can administer a Backup server from a workstation running UNIX, Windows NT, Windows 95, MacOS, or NetWare, if the workstation has Backup installed and is connected by a network. Additionally, a Backup client on one platform can back up its data to a Backup server of a different platform.

Backup can direct and conduct administration services for any client or server on the network that has the Backup software installed and is recognized by the Backup server. The Backup interface offers you only the options that are relevant to a particular Backup client, so you do not need to know the configuration of individual machines before you start a monitoring session.
