New features in SCO ARCserve/Open Release 2.2.0

Selecting an NDS tree for backup

Select the NDS tree for backup in the same way you would any other server or node.


NOTE: You must have admin rights to perform a backup of an NDS tree. (The admin user is the equivalent of the supervisor user in NetWare 3.x.)

The NDS tree (associated with the SCO ARCserve/Open server) is displayed within the server's directory tree, which is visible within the Source area of the Backup Manager window.


To back up an NDS tree:

  1. In the Source area of the Backup Manager window, expand the directory tree associated with the local server.


    The NDS tree is displayed along with the server's existing filesystems, as shown below:

  2. Select the target NDS tree that you want to backup by clicking on the box directly to its left.

    Once selected, you see the Secured Object Login dialog box.

  3. Enter the user name and password for the selected NDS tree:

    The NDS user name is equivalent to the NDS context name. The NDS context name consists of the object's full path, starting with Admin leaf and ending at the root of the tree.

    Given the NDS structure implemented below:

    the syntax for entering a valid user name (NDS path) is:

     
       .CN=Admin.0=Cheyenne 
    

  4. In the Destination area of the Backup Manager window, select the tape device group and tape for the backup job.

  5. Click on the Run button to execute the backup job.
