Sign in to the NetBackup web UI
Authorized users can sign in to a NetBackup primary server from a web browser, using the NetBackup web UI. The NetBackup web user interface (web UI) is available for NetBackup 8.1.2 and later. This interface is available on the primary server and supports the version of NetBackup on that server. You do not need to locate and open a specific version as you do with the NetBackup Administration Console.
Users should contact their NetBackup security administrator for information on how to sign in.
The following sign-in options are available:
