- PALINDROME BACKUP DIRECTOR 4.0
- ==============================
-
- The \PAL\PBD40 directory contains an evaluation version of the Palin-
- drome Backup Director 4.0 - Netware Edition software.
-
- The \PAL\PAL_PREP directory contains the necessary files for a server
- preparation.
-
- The \PAL\DOCS directory contains a complete 'Installation guide',
- 'Administrator guide' and a 'Reference guide'. Please run SETUP.EXE
- from this directory to install the guide viewer.
-
- 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 the \PAL\PBD40 directory.
-
-
- Workstation/Server Requirements
- -------------------------------
-
- * Workstations must be able to run Windows 3.1 or 3.11 in enhanced
- mode. Palindrome recommends a 486-based PC with 8 Mb of RAM.
-
- * Color monitor is recommended.
-
- * The latest versions of Netware's IPX (or IPXODI) and NETX or VLM.
- VLMs are required to access Backup Director installations on Net-
- ware 4.x servers.
-
- * At least 8 Mb of disk space for the Windows executables and DLLs
- and 3 Mb disk space on your SYS: volumes for NLMs.
-
- * Server memory should have at least 3 Mb of avaible 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 concurrently, you need 6 Mb of RAM.
-
-
- Before Installing the Software
- ------------------------------
-
- You can install Backup Director on any Netware 3.11, 3.12, 4.02 and
- 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 your servers.
-
- SETUP.NLM automatically copies Palindrome NCF files, updated TSAs,
- and Netware modules to each server you are backup up. You should run
- SETUP.NLM on all servers that you want to back up prior to installing
- Backup Director.
-
- * To run SETUP.NLM on your server, you must create Server Preparation
- Diskettes:
-
- 1. Change to the ...\PAL_PREP directory on the Evalution CD.
- 2. Copy the contents of the \DISK1 directory to one blank, formatted
- diskette.
- 3. Copy the contents of the \DISK2 directory to a second blank, for-
- matted diskette.
-
- * Run SETUP.NLM:
-
- 1. Insert the first diskette (that you created in the previous steps)
- into the local drive of your server.
-
- 2. At the server console, type:
-
- LOAD A:SETUP
- (where A: is the drive your diskette is in.)
-
- 3. The program informs you if you need to down the server. If neces-
- sary, 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 ser-
- ver, run PALSTART.NCF on the server(s).
-
- At the server console prompt, type:
-
- PALSTART
-
- 4. 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 job queue, Backup Director rely on an auto
- login user (a user you define or that is already defined on the net-
- work). Using a single auto login user to attach to remote servers
- provides maximum security during operations.
-
- Auto Login User Requirements:
- During installation of the software, you will be prompted to specify
- a single auto login user (either a Bindery user or as an NDS user)
- that is stored in the program's 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 environ-
- ments, 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.
-
-
- Install the Software
- --------------------
-
- * Load PALLOADR on the installation server
-
- PALLOADR.NLM allows Backup Director or Storage Manager to automati-
- cally 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.
-
- 1. From the server console prompt of your installation server, type:
-
- LOAD PALLOADR
-
- 2. Log in to the network as a supervisor-equivalent user (you must
- have rights to create directories and users). In a 4.x environ-
- ment, 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.
-
- 3. Be sure you have a drive mapped to the volume where you will
- install Backup Director or Storage Manager.
-
- 4. At a workstation, run Windows.
-
- 5. Open the File menu and select Run. In the command line text box,
- type:
-
- <DIR>\PAL\PBD40\SETUP.EXE
-
- (where <DIR> is the CD-ROM directory where the Evaluation software
- is located).
-
- Follow the instructions on screen. If you do not have a serial
- number, phone S.H.A.R.K! 02521-20052, after 10-10-95 0252-420052.
-
- NOTE: If you are currently using Palindrome software, do not up-
- grade your installation with the evaluation version of the
- software. Choose a directory other than your current instal-
- lation directory when prompted.
-
- 6. 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.
-
- 7. To run your first backup immediately, choose YES when prompted.
