Backing Up Novell NetWare Systems
Chapter 5196
• The Compress option
• The omit_deleted_files option (restore option)
Files of up to 4 GB are backed up on NetWare 4.X.
NOTE To allow users to run backups on the Novell NetWare system, grant
them the Backup as Root user right. See Chapter 3, “Configuring Users
and User Groups,” on page 81 for details on how to change user rights.
Data Protector cannot back up moved files during incremental backup
sessions.
What Is Included
in an Incremental
Backup?
In order to determine which files have changed, the Data Protector Disk
Agent checks the last modification time for each file. This method
prevents Data Protector from detecting moved files, as moving the file
does not change the modification time.
See the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Concepts Guide for details
about incremental backups.
Selecting Specific
Files or Directories
For each filesystem, you can restrict the backup to specific directory
trees. For each directory tree you can do the following:
• Exclude any sub-tree or file
• Back up files that match a specific wildcard pattern
• Skip files that match a specific wildcard pattern
Backing Up CONFIGURATION
Data Protector enables you to back up a special data structure known as
CONFIGURATION, which consists of the following components, as shown in
Figure 5-21 (NetWare 4.x, 5.x and 6.0).
CONFIGURATION
Components
• Server Specific Info
•Schema
• Root
To back up the CONFIGURATION item or part of it, follow the procedure
“How to Back Up a Novell NetWare System” on page 194, selecting the
appropriate item in the Source page of the backup wizard.
