Configuring DR Series System Information Using NetBackup
The topic introduces the concept of configuring the DR Series system information using the NetBackup media server
command line interface (CLI) commands and graphical user interface (GUI) menus, tabs, and options. The NetBackup
CLI commands and GUI menus, tabs, and options allow you to configure both the Linux or Windows media servers. In the
DR Series System Administrator Guide documentation, you will find specific topics that address operations for using the
NetBackup CLI, such as adding the DR Series system name to NetBackup on each Linux and Windows media server you
intend to use with the DR Series system, using the NetBackup GUI to configure it to work with the DR Series system via
OST, using the NetBackup GUI to configure disk pools from logical storage units (LSUs) on the DR Series system, and
using the NetBackup GUI to create storage units using the disk pools on the DR Series system.

backup_user. You can only change the password for this account; you cannot create a new account nor can
the existing account be deleted.
