Introduction to NetBackup applications for Flex Appliance
Flex Appliance is a customizable data management solution that lets you consolidate multiple applications on a single hardware platform. An application is a software program that can be installed on Flex Appliance. You can use these applications to create multiple, concurrent application instances, or single deployments of applications that were historically standalone servers.
The following applications are available for NetBackup release 10.3.0.1:
NetBackup primary server
You can also configure a BMR primary server with this application. However, the BMR boot server cannot be configured on the appliance.
NetBackup media server with the following storage options:
Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP)
You can also configure MSDP cloud storage with this application. Refer to the NetBackup Deduplication Guide after the instance is created.

The WORM storage server application is included with the NetBackup release but follows a different version scheme. WORM storage server version 19.1 requires a version 10.3.0.1 primary server and media server.
The NetBackup applications must follow the same compatibility requirements between NetBackup versions as any other NetBackup environment. See the NetBackup Release Notes for specifics.
