Install the Hardware:
Before installing the software, install a supported backup device,
host adapter, and driver software appropriate for your type of
machine. Also, be sure to install a termination block on the last device in
your SCSI bus.
For a list of certified backup devices and host adapters, see the
README.TXT file in PBD4DSK1.ZIP.
Workstation/Server Requirements
- Workstations (at a minimum) must be able to run Windows 3.1 or
3.11 in enhanced mode (at least a 386SX or greater with 4 Mb RAM).
- Palindrome recommends a 486-based PC with 8 Mb of RAM.
- Color monitor is recommended but not required.
- The latest versions of NetWare's IPX (or IPXODI) and NETX or
NetWare DOS Requestor (VLM). VLMs are required to access Backup
Director installations on NetWare 4.x servers.
- At least 8 Mb of disk space for the Windows executables and DLLs
and 3 Mb disk space on your SYS: volume for NLMs.
- Server memory should have at least 3 Mb of available memory and
1 Mb of memory for each process (backup, restore, and/or utility)
you want to run. Thus, to run one process at a time you need 4 Mb
of RAM; to run three processes concurrently, you need 6 Mb of RAM.
Determine where to install the software:
You can install Backup Director on any NetWare 3.11, 3.12, 4.02, or
4.1 server.
To ensure your servers are running the most recent NetWare modules
and backup agents (called Target Service Agents or TSAs) are copied
to your server, you must run SETUP.NLM on each server you are
backing up.
SETUP.NLM automatically copies Palindrome NCF files, updated TSAs,
and NetWare modules to each server you are backing up. You should
run SETUP.NLM on all servers that you want to back up prior to
installing Backup Director software.
Create Server Preparation Diskettes:
Before running SETUP.NLM, you must copy the contents of the
PREP1.ZIP and PREP2.ZIP onto two blank formatted floppy disks and
then run SETUP.NLM from the diskette at your server. The directory
structure stored in the zip file must be preserved.
Example: PKUNZIP PBDPREP1.ZIP A: -D
Run SETUP.NLM
Insert the first diskette (that you created in the previous steps)
into the local drive of your server.
At the server console, type:
LOAD A:SETUP
(where A: is the drive your diskette is in.)
If necessary, down the server(s) to ensure any modules that were
updated are loaded on the server(s). If you do not need to down the
server, run PALSTART.NCF on the server(s).
At the server console prompt type:
PALSTART
PALSTART.NCF contains statements to automatically load required
files such as your device driver, Palindrome NLMs, and Target
Service Agents. SETUP.NLM copies PALSTART.NCF to the SYS:\SYSTEM
directory of each server that you run SETUP.NLM on.
Create the Auto Login User:
To access servers and the Backup Director job queue, Backup
Director relies on an auto login user (a user you define or that is
already defined on the network). Using a single auto login user to
attach to remote servers provides maximum security for backup and
restore operations.
Auto Login User Requirements:
During installation of the software, you will be prompted to
specify a single auto login user (either as a Bindery user or as an
NDS user) that is stored in the Backup Director System Control
Database. If the auto login user doesn't exist on those servers (or
in the NDS tree), the program prompts you to specify a user and
password to access those resources when you attempt to configure
the resources for backup operations.
During installation of the software the user installing the
software displays as the auto login user name. You can use this
user or any other existing user that has supervisor-equivalent
rights to each server you want to back up.
Rights:
In NetWare 3.x environments, the auto login user must exist on
every server and have supervisor-equivalent rights.
In NetWare 4.x environments, the user only needs to exist once in
the tree and should have supervisor object rights to each server
object you want to back up and to the container that the
installation server is in.<$&AUTO[v]>
*Do not limit concurrent connections for the auto login user.
Install the Software:
Load PALLOADR on the installation server
PALLOADR.NLM allows Backup Director to automatically load other
Palindrome NLMs while running the install program from a Windows
workstation. PALLOADR is copied to your installation server when
you run SETUP.NLM.
If you have already loaded PALSTART.NCF, PALLOADR should already be
loaded and you can skip this step.
From the server console prompt of your installation server, type:
LOAD PALLOADR
Log in to the network as a supervisor-equivalent user (must have
rights to create directories and users). In a 4.x environment, the
user installing the software must have write rights to all
properties of the root object and supervisor object rights to the
container the installation server is in.
Be sure you have a drive mapped to the volume where you will
install Backup Director.
Create Workstation Installation Diskettes:
The client portion of Backup Director 4.0 can be installed from
floppy disks or by unziping PBD4DSK1, PBD4DSK2, PBD4DSK3 and
PBD4DKS4 to a common directory.
At a workstation, run Windows.
Open the File menu and select Run. In the command line text box,
type: A:\SETUP.EXE
(where A: is the drive where the Evaluation software is located).
Follow the instructions on screen.
NOTE: If you are currently using Palindrome software, do not
upgrade your installation with the evaluation version of the
software. Choose a directory other than your current installation
directory when prompted.
At the end of the installation program, you will be asked whether
or not to add the installation server to the Protected Resource
List. Choose OK.
To run your first backup immediately, choose YES when prompted.
