Disk agent (backup agent)

Client systems that are being backed up must have an HP Data Protector Disk Agent installed. The disk agent manages the reads/writes from a disk on a system and also communicates with the media agent. The disk agent also is installed on the Cell Manager, enabling backup of its data, configuration details, and IDB.
