How NetWare entities appear in the
NonTarget browser
Before using the NetBackup for NetWare NonTarget
Browser, you must be familiar with how the NetWare entities appear
in the NonTarget Browser's Backup and Restore windows.
When you first open a window, the left pane shows
the NetWare servers that are running as SMDRs (Storage Management
Data Requestors). The right pane shows the Target Service Agents on
the SMDR that is selected in the left pane.
Double-clicking on a folder in the Backup window
expands it to the next lower level.
The following table explains each level in the
structure.

Item
Description
Storage Management Data
Requestor (SMDR)
The name of the NetWare server that is running the
SMDR.NLM used for backups.
Target Service Agent
(TSA)
A NetWare software module that prepares the data
for backup or restore by the SMDR. There are different types of
TSAs, depending on the data.
Target Service
The NetWare entity that has the data being handled
by the selected TSA. For a Novell Directory Services TSA, you will
see the directory schema and root of the NDS tree to be backed
up.
When you first attempt to access a target service
during a backup, NetBackup prompts you for the user name and
password of the account under which you are performing the
backup.
During a restore operation, the left pane of the
window shows the namespace type for the resources under a target
service. The Restore window will show the different namespaces only
if the backups were performed using the multiple namespaces.
Resources
The specific resources on the selected target
service. For example, NetWare file systems on a 5.1 system are
Server Specific Information, SYS:, and
other volumes.
The first time you attempt to restore from a
resource, NetBackup prompts you for the user name and password of
the account under which you are performing the restore.
Directories and Files
The directories and files that are in the selected
resource.
