• Data Protector - HP Open View Storage Data Protector is a backup solution that provides reliable data protection and high accessibility. Data Protector offers comprehensive backup and restore functionality specifically tailored for enterprise-wide and distributed environments. 
• Current Product Engineering(CPE) – Responsible for CPE of MA, NDMP, and SOS modules.

Media Agent (xMA) is the generic term denoting the part of the DataProtector software responsible for handling the storage devices i.e. all the operations that are somehow connected to storage devices.  Those operations are implemented in several independent modules, according to the function the Media Agent has to perform during various DataProtector sessions under control of Session Manager (xSM). Those modules are:

• BMA (Backup Media Agent),
• RMA (Restore Media Agent),
• CMA (Copy Media Agent),
• MMA (Management Media Agent),
• UMA (Utility Media Agent).
• devbra (Device browser agent)
• sanconf (SAN configuration utility)
• TA (Tape Analyzer tool)

NDMP - Network Data Management Protocol, is a protocol invented by the NetApp and PDC, acquired by Legato and now EMC companies, meant to transport data between network attached storage (NAS) devices and backup devices(alternate to NFS protocol). This removes the need for transporting the data through the backup server itself, thus enhancing speed and removing load from the backup server.

SOS

• It's a deduplication service, that

De duplicates data before writing it to disk

Receives de duplicated data and writes it to disk

Read de duplicated data from disk and provide it in a stream

• From DP; SOS is considered a device that we can back up to and restore from, to communicate with it, the client requires implementation of De-duplication API. In DP, Media Agent and Object Store Client CLI implement the read/write capabilities
• Common abbreviations are SOS, SODA, D2D, B2D
• It's a port of software ran by SO devices, created back in 2011, it features CONISTON version of core module for deduplication operations with a wrapper around it for server and CLI capabilities
• Apart from the core functionalities, SOS is also a POCO server, that serves connections, be it commands or data transfers
• We usually differ SOS core and server by their functionalities, where core will do I/O operations and deduplication and server will listen for commands and pass them on to core if needed
