Backing Up Novell NetWare Systems
Chapter 5 199
Backing Up NetWare Directory Services (NDS)
Data Protector backs up NDS using Novell NetWare Storage
Management Services (SMS). Data Protector backs up and restores all
extensions to the NDS Schema.
NOTE Incremental backup of the NDS database is not possible. A full backup of
the NDS database is always performed.
To successfully back up NDS, follow the instructions in the HP OpenView
Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing Guide and ensure
that:
• TSANDS.NLM is loaded
• HPLOGIN.NLM is loaded and access information is given to Data
Protector
Backing Up NDS Back up NDS as you would a UNIX or Windows filesystem, except that
the mountpoint has to be the CONFIGURATION item.
Adding NDS Objects to a Backup Specification
Data Protector offers advanced functionality to back up only a part of
NDS. However, unless you understand why some parts can be excluded,
it is advisable to back up everything.
Each object in the NDS tree has its own fully distinguished name. For
example, leaf object CN=Admin, which resides in the container object
O=HSL, has its fully distinguished name as seen by the SMS
(TSANDS.NLM):
.CN=Admin.O=HSL.[Root]
Data Protector uses the fully distinguished name to build the tree
structure of the NDS as follows:
• The fully distinguished name is reversed.
•The dot-symbol (.) separator is replaced with the slash-symbol
separator (/).
For example, the fully distinguished name
.CN=Admin.O=HSL.[Root]
