For NetWare systems that are running the NonTarget version of NetBackup client software, specify the paths in the following form:
/SMDR/TSA/TS/resources/directory/file
Where:
SMDR (Storage Management Data Requestor) is the name of the NetWare file server that is running the SMDR.NLM that is used for backups. (NLM means NetWare-loadable module.)
TSA (Target Service Agent) is a NetWare software module that prepares the data for backup or restore by the SMDR. The type of TSA that is used depends on the data. For example, NetWare file systems and DOS workstations each have TSAs.
TS is the Target Service, which is the NetWare entity that contains the data that the selected TSA handles. For example, in the case of the DOS TSA (tsasms.com) it is a DOS workstation. In the case of a NetWare file system TSA, it is the system with the NetWare file systems to be backed up.
resources are the specific resources on the target service. For example, it can be NetWare file systems such as BINDERY, SYS, and USER.
directory/file is the directory and file that are in the resource (if it is a path to a specific file).
Observe the following rules for paths:
Give the server access to each path or the scheduled backup fails. To provide this access, use the command on the Backup menu in the NetBackup interface on the NetWare client.
For more information, see the NetBackup for Novell NetWare Client Administrator's Guide.
Precede each component in the path with a forward slash.
If the last component in the path is a directory, follow it with a forward slash (/). The trailing slash is not required but is a reminder that the path points to a directory instead of a file.
/client1/client1.NetWare File System/client1/SYS/DOC/
If the last component is a file, include the file extension and omit the slash from the end of the name.
/client1/client1.NetWare File System/client1/SYS/DOC/TEST.TXT
All components in a path must show uppercase and lowercase letters as they appear in the actual path on the client.
To back up all NetBackup for NetWare clients that are in the policy, enter only one forward slash (/) on a line:
/
To back up an entire NetBackup for NetWare client, enter a forward slash (/) followed by the client name and another forward slash:
/client1/
The following example backs up SYS, BINDERY, and USER file systems under the file system TSA on a client that is named client1:
/client1/client1.NetWare File System/client1/SYS/ /client1/client1.NetWare File System/client1/BINDERY/ /client1/client1.NetWare File System/client1/USER/
Note that the command on the NetBackup NetWare client Backup menu must also specify access to these paths.
See the NetBackup for Novell NetWare Client Administrator's Guide.
