Checklist

Checklist

For best results when installing and configuring the NetWare client, do the following:

Ensure all minimum system requirements are met. For information about these requirements, see Minimum system requirements.

Ensure that name resolution is properly working. You may want to have your NetWare server ping by name your NetBackup master and media servers, and have your NetBackup master and media servers ping by name your NetWare server. If you are not using DNS, ensure your systems' hosts files contain the correct IP address and names of the servers they will be communicating with (see Adding information to the hosts file).

Ensure you have created a BP.INI file (see Modifying BP.INI through the target's NetBackup configuration menu and Modifying BP.INI parameters with the NonTarget method).

For best results when backing up using the target method, do the following:

Ensure a policy that allows backups of the NetWare server has been created at the NetBackup Administration Console (see Setting up policies for the NetWare client).

Create a target for each resource you want to protect using the NetWare Client. The targets must be created on the NetWare server through the Target Configuration menu before either scheduled backups can be created from the server or user-directed backups can be launched from the NetWare server. For information about creating targets, see Defining targets to back up.

Ensure you have Read and File Scan rights for whatever you want to back up.

For best results when backing up using the nontarget method, do the following:

Ensure a policy that allows backups of the NetWare server has been created at the NetBackup Administration Console (see Setting up policies for the NetWare client).

Ensure you have provided scheduled access rights to all resources that will be backed up using scheduled backups launched from the NetBackup Administration Console (see Allowing scheduled access).

Ensure you have Read and File Scan rights for whatever you want to back up.

For best results when restoring using the target method, do the following:

Ensure the information that appears at the top of the Restore Backups screen is correct. (see Using the restore backups menu).

Ensure you have Create and Write rights to the volume to which you are restoring.

Ensure Allow_Server_Write is set to yes in the BP.INI file (see Understanding the BP.INI file).

For best results when restoring using the nontarget method, do the following:

Ensure the Class Type is NetWare for the client to which you are restoring (see Clients property sheet) and that the Policy Type for the source client is NetWare (refer to your NetBackup documentation on specifying NetBackup machines).

Ensure the Allow server directed restores is selected in order for restores to be launched from the NetBackup administration console (see Setting general configuration options).
