Networker in a AWS Environment.
Hi Experts,
IHAC who is planning to use Networker to backup his EBS on AWS to S3. He had the following 2 questions :
1. Which version of Networker is Supported
2. List of API's exposed by Networker from an Orchestration standpoint
I have found out that Version 8.X is supported. However I am not able to find out the list of API's exposed by Networker. Please assist. Thanks in advance

Can't answer the first part offhand, but I'll try to get an answer by Monday. However, I think the second part is an unclear question.
The "more normal" version of that question would be "what API calls are exposed by NetWorker". ie, what calls can we make to the NetWorker API. From checking, it seems that the development effort into the NetWorker API was abandoned a few years ago and there's no API available to customers. However, there are still the standard, documented methods of getting information from NetWorker - mminfo and nsradmin being the main 2 forms.
NetWorker hooks into other applications' APIs to work with them to perform better backup and recovery. This includes the backup APIs (and I can't give you the exact names of these) for Exchange, Oracle, Sybase, DB2, SQL Server, etc. You'd need to check their documentation for the publicly exposed calls though (and "strings" for the ones which aren't publicly documented). NetWorker generally hooks into these using shared libraries/DLLs locally installed and linked on the application's server.
