located (drive on Windows and mount point on UNIX). For integration objects — backup stream identification, indicating the backed up database/application items.
•Description: For filesystem objects — uniquely defines objects with identical client name and mount point. For integration objects — displays the integration type (for example, SAP or Lotus).
•Type: Backup object type. For filesystem objects — filesystem type (for example, WinFS). For integration objects — “Bar”.
backup owner | Each backup object in the IDB has an owner. The default owner |
| of a backup is the user who starts the backup session. |
backup session | A process that creates a copy of data on storage media. The |
| activities are specified in a backup specification or an interactive |
| session. All clients configured in one backup specification are |
| backed up together in one backup session using the same |
| backup type (full or incremental). The result of a backup session |
| is a set of media, which was written to, also called the backup |
| or media set. |

backup set | A complete set of integration objects associated with a backup. |
backup set | (Oracle specific term) A logical grouping of backed up files that |
| are created using the RMAN backup command. A backup set |
| is a complete set of files associated with a backup. The files can |
| be multiplexed to increase performance. A backup set contains |
| either datafiles or archived logs, but not both together. |
backup | A list of objects to be backed up, together with a set of devices |
specification | or drives to be used, backup options for all objects in the |
| specification, and days and time that you want backups to be |
| performed. The objects are entire disks/volumes or parts of them |
| such as files, directories, or even the Windows Registry for |
| example. File selection lists such as |
| can be specified. |
backup system | (ZDB specific term) A system connected to target volumes of one |
| or multiple application systems. The backup system is typically |
| connected to a backup device to perform the backup of the data |
| in a replica. |
