Started by: Manually or via client-user interface. Stopped by: Completion of the operation. Activity log: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bprestore.log on client. bpsched Uses class information from the Netbackup confguration databases on the master server to determine which clients to backup and when to start them and which storage units to use. Started by: bprd for user directed backups/archives, immediate manual backups, and scheduled automatic incremental or full backups. Stopped by: Completion of all scheduled backups. Activity log: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpsched/bpsched.log on client. bptm Tape media manager used on master/slave servers and is used when the storage unit type is Media Manager. Manages the transfer of images between the client and storage devices. It also handles comms between backup and Media Manager software. Additionally, bptm manages the Netbackup media database and provides information for the media list report screen. (Lots of stuff, apparently) Started by: bpbrm for each backup/restore operation. Stopped by: Completion of the operation. Activity log: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bptm/bptm.log on client. tar Tape Archiver program.

Activity log: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/xbpmon/xbpmon Media Manager related daemons/programs Daemon Description ltid Media manager device daemon; controls the reservation and assignment of volumes. avrd Automatic volume recognition daemon; handles volume recognition and label scanning so the system can automatically assign removable media requests to specific drives. vmd volume management daemon; tracks location, mount number, and mount time for each volume. Robotic daemons The exact daemon name is dependent on the type of robot. These daemons run on each host that's connected to a tape library. They pass information from ltid to the robotic or to a robotic control daemon. Robotic control daemons The exact daemon name is dependent on the type of robot. These daemons only run on the host that controls the robot.
