What is NetBackup XBSA?

XBSA is an Open Group Technical Standard that defines a Backup Services API (XBSA). The XBSA specification consists of source procedure calls, type definitions, data structures, and return codes. The client applications use these to be able to use a backup service, NetBackup, and to store and manage data.

The NetBackup XBSA is an API to NetBackup developed to the XBSA specifications. The NetBackup XBSA interface has extended the XBSA specifications to make it easier to use and enhance performance when used with NetBackup. Exceptions are noted throughout the document.

See Resources.

NetBackup XBSA is provided as a Software Developers Kit (SDK) that includes the header files and the libraries that are required to create an XBSA application.
