Backing Up Novell NetWare Systems

Client Backup with Disk Discovery

You can discover disks (volumes) on NetWare just as you can for UNIX or Windows systems.

If you specify a client backup with disk discovery, Data Protector first contacts the client and discovers all volumes that belong to the client. Then it backs up the CONFIGURATION item and each discovered volume as a regular filesystem. The description text for each filesystem object is generated by appending the volume name, in square brackets, to the description of the client backup.

For client backup with disk discovery, it is not possible to select only specific directory trees, because this implies single volume backup. But it is possible to exclude any directory from the backup.

1.In the Data Protector Manager, switch to the Backup context.

2.Expand the Backup item, and then double-click Backup Specifications.

3.In the Results Area, right-click Filesystem, and then click Add Backup.

4.In the Create New Backup dialog box, select one of the available templates.

5.Click OK to open the wizard.

6.Click the check box next to the client. This selects the entire client to be backed up, similar to what is shown in Figure 5-15.

See “Using Backup Options” on page 225 for information on using and structuring your backup specifications.
