Before you can back up your NetWare server, you must create policies that can be used for scheduled, server-directed backups and for user-directed backups.

The parameters necessary for the scheduled backup policy depend on whether you are using the Target or NonTarget version of the NetWare Client.

With the Target method

•The policy for a scheduled backup must use Standard as the Policy type.

•When selecting files for backup, you must type the Target name; you cannot use the Browse button.

•When typing the Backup Selections, enter only the Target name.

•On the Client tab, type the name of the NetWare Client; Hardware should be Novell and Operating System should be NetWare.

With the NonTarget method

•The policy for a scheduled backup must use NetWare as the Policy type.

•The Backup Selections should contain a single forward slash (/). Using just a forward slash (/) backs up all resources configured in Allow Scheduled Access. There should be nothing else in the Backup Selections list (path name).

•For the Client, Hardware should be Novell and Operating System should be NetWare.

For user-directed backups, at least one schedule for backing up the NetWare server must include User Backup as the Type of backup.
