About the Primary Server role
A NetBackup 52xx series appliance can be configured as a primary server with its own internal disk storage. You configure and use this appliance much like you would use a regular NetBackup primary server. You can schedule backups or start a backup manually. Users with the appropriate privileges can perform restores.
Note:
The NetBackup 53xx appliance is a media server by default and is not supported for the primary server role configuration.
This appliance role provides a simplified administrative interface for the local network, disk, and storage unit management. However, the majority of NetBackup administration such as backup management must be performed through the traditional NetBackup Administration Console.
For complete NetBackup administration information, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide for UNIX and Linux, Volume I and Volume II.
