associated with managing data and disk and provides striping
and mirroring capabilities to optimize performance.
automigration (VLS specific term) The functionality that allows data backups
to be first made to the VLS' virtual tapes and then migrated to
physical tapes (one virtual tape emulating one physical tape)
without using an intermediate backup application.

BACKINT (SAP R/3 specific term) SAP R/3 backup programs can call the
Data Protector backint interface program via an open interface,
which enables them to communicate with Data Protector
software. For backup and restore, SAP R/3 programs issue
orders for the Data Protector backint interface.
backup API The Oracle interface between the Oracle backup/restore utility
and the backup/restore media management layer. The interface
defines a set of routines to allow the reading and writing of data
to the backup media, the creation, searching and removing the
backup files.
backup chain See restore chain .
backup device A device configured for use with Data Protector, which can write
data to and read data from storage media. This can be, for
example, a standalone DDS/DAT drive or a library.
backup generation One backup generation includes one full backup and all
incremental backups until the next full backup.
backup ID An identifier of an integration object that equals the session ID
of the backup of this object. The backup ID is preserved when
an object is copied, exported, or imported.
backup object A backup unit that contains all items backed up from one disk
volume (logical disk or mount point). The backed up items can
be any number of files, directories, or the entire disk or mount
point. Additionally, a backup object can be a
database/application entity or a disk image (rawdisk).
A backup object is defined by:
• Client name: Hostname of the Data Protector client where
the backup object resides.
• Mount point: For filesystem objects — the access point in a
directory structure on the client where the backup object is
