2. Below complete steps from ISMv4 course:

   (1) Backup server initiates scheduled backup process.
   (2) Backup server retrieves backup-related information from the backup catalog.
   (3a) Backup server instructs storage node to load backup media in the backup device.
   (3b) Backup server instructs backup clients to send data to be backed up to the storage node.
   (4) Backup clients send data to storage node and update the backup catalog on the backup server.
   (5) Storage node sends data to the backup device
   (6) Storage node sends metadata and media information to the backup server
   (7) Backup server updates the backup catalog
