EMC NetWorker is an enterprise class Backup and Recovery solution. It is three-tiered software: 1. NetWorker Client (that hosts the data to be backed up) 2. NetWorker Server (co-ordinates the entire backup/recover process and tracks the metadata) 3. NetWorker Storage Node (that connects to diverse storage devices and writes/reads data).
