System Requirements:
Hardware:
System configuration necessary to install NetBackup on a Windows-based server is an
Intel Pentium system with 256 MB of memory and 1 GB of storage space.

Software:
Netbackup requires an Intel based Pentium server running Windows 2000 with service
pack 4 installed, or Windows 2003 server.
Netbackup 6.0 requires Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.
Screen resolution configuration of at least 1024x768, 256 colors.
Netbackup installation requires an administrator account and password for the server.

Caution:
Before installing your NetBackup product, make sure you have the most current
operating system patches and updates applied to your system. If you are not certain of your
operating system level, contact your operating system vendor and request the latest patches and
upgrades.

Notes:
It is important that you ensure all NetBackup servers have a release level installed that is
at least equal to the newest version level installed on the clients. (Older versions of server
software can encounter problems with newer clients.)

Remove any other vendor’s backup software currently configured on your system before
installing NetBackup.

The backup software of another vendor can negatively affect how NetBackup installs and
functions.
