fnames.dat
The fnames.dat files of the IDB contain information on the names of the backed up files. Typically,
these files occupy about 20% of the IDB. Filenames, for reasons of space efficiency and quick access,
are stored in pieces across six files (and their extension file, if they exist): dirs.dat, fn1.ext, fn2.ext,
fn3.ext, fn4.ext and fnames.dat.
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
A cross-platform [Windows, HP-UX (PA Risc), Solaris] graphical user interface provided by Data
Protector for easy access to all configuration, administration, and operation tasks. It may also be
known as User Interface (UI) or Cell Console (CC).
IDB
The Data Protector Internal Database is an embedded database located on the Cell Manager that
keeps information regarding which data is backed up, on which media it is backed up, how backup
and restore sessions are run, and which devices and libraries are configured.
MoM
Several cells can be grouped together and managed from a central cell. The management system of
the central cell is the Manager-of-Managers (MoM). The cells are called MoM clients. The MoM
enables you to configure and manage multiple cells from a central point.
MMDB
The Media Management Database (MMDB) is a part of the IDB that contains information about
media, media pools, devices, libraries, library drives, and slots configured in the cell, as well as the
Data Protector media used for backup.
RDS
The Raima Database Server process (service) runs on the Data Protector Cell Manager and manages
the IDB. The process is started when Data Protector is installed on the Cell Manager.
SIBF
The Serverless Integrations Binary Files (SIBF) is a part of the IDB that stores raw NDMP metadata.
This data is necessary to perform restore of NDMP objects. Occasionally the SIBF may be used for
other data too.
SMBF
The Session Messages Binary Files (SMBF) part of the IDB stores session messages generated during
backup, restore, object copy, object consolidation, and media management sessions. One binary file
is created per session. The files are grouped by year and month.
