Systems Management: Backup Services API (XBSA)
Systems Management Backup Services API - XBSA Author:The Open Group This document first presents an architecture for management and client applications which use the services of underlying backup services software. It then specifies a Backup Services API consisting of source procedure calls, structures and return codes, which is used by these management and client applications. A subset of this API, ... more »called the Data Movement API, is identified for those applications or facilities not requiring full management services of the XBSA, but instead focuses on data movement. This specification includes background information of particular value to end users and vendors, on the use of this API, on an example mapping of XBSA to an existing interface, and on the wider issues involved in considering backup, archive and restore requirements.« less
