About backups and restores with NetBackup in a cluster

This topic provides links to instructions on how to perform user-directed backups and restore data in a cluster. Additionally, specific instructions for performing backups and restores can be found in other NetBackup guides. See the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore Getting Started Guide and NetBackup Administrator Guides for information related to NetBackup agents and options.

The backup and restore process is the same whether you are in a cluster or a non-cluster environment. See the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide for further information on backup and archive processes and on restore processes.
