NetBackup has three editions and two primary architectures. The three-tier architecture consists of a NetBackup Master Server that manages operations, one or more NetBackup Media Servers that back up and restore data to attached storage, and multiple NetBackup clients. The two-tier architecture has a single NetBackup server that acts as both the master and media server, backing up data from multiple clients.
