Veritas NetBackup™ Virtual Appliance Getting Started Guide
About installing NetBackup Administration Console and client software
You can use two different methods to install the NetBackup client software on the clients that you want to back up. You can install NetBackup client software on clients as follows:
Use CIFS and NFS shares and run scripts to install the software silently.
Depending on the operating system, you run the quickinstall.exe script or the unix-client-install script. This is a silent install. The scripts do not prompt you for any user-related questions. They automatically update the NetBackup configuration on the client with the appliance server name as the Master server.
