About NASB

With NASB devices you can allow the media server to focus on the coordination functions needed to complete backup operations, thus allowing client operations to run smoothly during offloading data movement operations to a media server. Most backups performed today are server-free. In server-free backups, the application server is not involved in moving the data. The data can be moved by either a media server or a NASB device. When the media server is the data mover, it moves the data between the disks and the tapes. The backup application runs on both the client device and the media server. However, the backup application in the client device performs minimal tasks for the backup operation.
