Offhost Backup Overview
Third-Party Copy Device
Choose this option if processing time on the NetBackup client is critical and off-loading
backup processing to a third-party copy device may save time. Note that multiple data
streams and multiplexing are not supported.
Figure 7 shows the basic components used in the Third-Party Copy Device method. A
third-party copy device (not a component of NetBackup) handles the backup data
movement.

1. On LAN, client backup is initiated by master server, which tells the client to
map the frozen image data.
2. On LAN, client sends the mapping information to the media server.
3. Media server sends third-party copy commands to the third-party copy
device over the SAN.
4. Third-party copy device reads the client data from the disk over the SAN.
5. Third-party copy device sends data across the SAN to storage device.
