Any UNIX node on your cluster can easily be backed up using the Task/Agent software. Drives on your UNIX nodes are backed up across a TCP/IP connection using specific Task/Agent commands, initiated from your OpenVMS node. You can also use a TCP/IP product such as UCX (TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS), TCPware or Multinet to make the NFS mount point behave as a VMS device for BCKMGR. All your remote nodes are backed up to the removable media devices on your central OpenVMS system or cluster. It is no longer necessary to manage backups separately on each of your nodes. The central database maintains information on all backup jobs, whether local or remote. The system automatically connects/disconnects from the remote node during the backup.
