Differences between the Target and NonTarget methods

There are several differences between the Target and NonTarget methods besides the user interfaces.

In addition to requiring the configuration of targets, the Target method does the following:

•Requires only TCP/IP; IPX is not required.

•Allows multi-streaming, the sending of multiple streams of data from the NetWare Client to the NetBackup server.

•Uses the Standard policy, or class type.

•Uses the file list format /targetname or targetname.

Note: A forward slash (/) precedes the target name in the File list for version 3.4, but no forward slash is needed for newer versions.

Main characteristics of the NonTarget method follow:

•Requires the Novell Client for Windows be installed and enabled to see the NetWare volumes in your selection list.

•Requires IPX/SPX to run the NetBackup for NetWare NonTarget Browser. The actual backup uses TCP/IP.

•Launches user-directed backups and restores from a Windows computer using the NetBackup for NetWare NonTarget Browser.

•Uses single streaming of data.

•Uses the NetWare policy, or class type.

•Uses the file list format /.
