NetBackup-Java Console Connections

The NetBackup-Java administration console runs on a UNIX or Windows system where the NetBackup-Java interface software is installed.

Use the administration console on a UNIX or Windows platform to perform all the NetBackup administrative tasks. The NetBackup-Java Console can also perform backups or restores of UNIX clients.

The following figure shows the connections between a NetBackup-Java Console and the NetBackup-Java Application Server on a NetBackup server or client. The accompanying table, Connections for the NetBackup-Java Console, provides a brief description of each connection and defines the ports that the NetBackup Console and its application server uses.
