Client Backup with Disk Discovery

You can discover disks (volumes) on NetWare just as you can for UNIX
or Windows systems.

How Are Disks
Discovered?

If you specify a client backup with disk discovery, Data Protector first
contacts the client and discovers all volumes that belong to the client.
Then it backs up the

CONFIGURATION

item and each discovered volume as

a regular filesystem. The description text for each filesystem object is
generated by appending the volume name, in square brackets, to the
description of the client backup.

For client backup with disk discovery, it is not possible to select only
specific directory trees, because this implies single volume backup. But it
is possible to exclude any directory from the backup.

How to Perform a
NetWare Client
Backup

1. In the

Data Protector Manager

, switch to the

Backup

context.

2. Expand the

Backup

item, and then double-click

Backup

Specifications

.

3. In the Results Area, right-click

Filesystem

, and then click

Add

Backup

.

4. In the

Create New Backup

dialog box, select one of the available

templates.

5. Click

OK

to open the wizard.

6. Click the check box next to the client. This selects the entire client to

be backed up, similar to what is shown in Figure 5-15.

See “Using Backup Options” on page 225 for information on using and
structuring your backup specifications.
