Figure 70 on page 246 shows a basic direct backup configuration. The Resolve Agent
is on a separate backup host in this configuration. Data, however, does not move
through this host.

Environment
This section describes the direct backup environment in terms of the devices that need
to be connected and what they need to be connected to. It also discusses the required
agents and where they are installed.
For information about platform, tape drive, and library support, see “Supported
configurations” on page 250.
Direct backup requires the General Media Agent to be off the application server.
Also, the Resolve Media Agent must be on the application server or other host and
must have access to the XCopy engine. For discussion of Resolve Agent placement,
see “Supported configurations” on page 250.
Direct backup requires that:
• The disk array, XCopy engine, application server, and tape drive or library are
attached to the SAN.
• The Resolve host and application server are attached to the LAN.
