Introduction
This guide is designed to help you get Backup Exec for NetWare up and running
as quickly as possible. It is intended for administrators familiar with
installing NLMs on NetWare 3.x and 4.x fileservers.
Installation Overview
Backup Exec's installation is a five-step process:
1. Installation of Backup Exec on the backup server. During installation,
files required for workstation client and agent installation are also
copied to the backup server.
2. Upgrading other NetWare fileservers that are to have backup and restore
operations performed on them with Backup Exec (applies only to
Enterprise Edition).
3. (Optional) Modifying the AUTOEXEC.NCF file with the addition of the
BESTART.NCF file. (The BESTART.NCF file loads the Job Manager and the
resources it requires.)
4. Installation of the tape hardware (controller and tape drive) in the
backup server.
5. Rebooting the server.
Before you proceed with the installation, please make sure that your server
and workstations meet Backup Exec's minimum system requirements and take a
moment to read the pre-installation notes included in this guide.
Installation Requirements
Servers and workstations on your network must meet the following requirements
to run the Backup Exec Job Manager, clients and agents.
Module Requirements
Job Manager and NetWare client * NetWare version 3.1x or 4.x
386 processor with at least 2 MB of
RAM over the server's normal
operating requirements.
* Compatible tape device and
controller. (A compatibility
listing can be found in the
HARDWARE.DOC located in the directory
where you extracted the Backup Exec
installation files.)
Windows client and agent * Microsoft Windows version 3.1
running in enhanced mode or Windows
for Workgroups version 3.11
DOS client and agent * MS-DOS version 3.31 or later
Novell DOS version 6.0 or 7.0
OS/2 client and agent * OS/2 version 1.3 (agent only), and
(Enterprise Edition only) versions 2.0 or 2.1(client and agent)
Windows NT agent * Windows NT version 3.1
(Enterprise Edition only) * Windows NT Server version 3.1
UNIX agent * SCO UNIX 3.2.4, Interactive 3.2,
(Enterprise Edition only) Sun OS 4.1.3, UnixWare 1.0, ISC 4.2
Macintosh agent * Macintosh System 7.x
(Enterprise Edition only)
Pre-Installation Notes
For a trouble-free installation, please take a moment to read the following
notes.
Make sure your controller and tape device are listed in Backup Exec's
compatibility matrix (refer to the HARDWARE.DOC file located in the directory
where you extracted the Backup Exec installation files).
Check to see that the tape drive is properly connected, and be sure the SCSI
bus is addressed and terminated properly.
If you are using an ASPI-compatible controller, verify with the controller's
manufacturer that you are loading the latest drivers
(e.g., AHA1540.DSK, etc.).
Backup Exec Installation
1. From the directory where you extracted the Backup Exec installation
files, type: load [volume]:[directory]\beinstl (e.g., load
sys1:\install\beinstl). Please take a moment to read the README file.
This document contains the latest release information about Backup Exec.
During installation, Backup Exec checks the versions of some of the
server's NetWare system files (NLMs). Outdated versions of these files
can be updated during the installation procedure. Updating these files
is recommended.
2. After all the files are installed, the next step is to upgrade other
servers targeted for backup and restore operations (applies only to
Enterprise Edition).
3. Next, update the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to remove any lines associated with
the outdated files listed in the following table.
Outdated NLM System Files
tsa_311.nlm patch311.nlm
tsa_400.nlm smdr311.nlm
clibp002.nlm tsa_nds.nlm
tsa_dos.nlm tsa_os2.nlm
ws_man.nlm
4. Add the BESTART command as the last line in your backup server's
AUTOEXEC.NCF file if you want to have Backup Exec's Job Manager loaded
upon server startup. This step is optional. BESTART.NCF is a file
that contains commands used to load the Backup Exec Job Manager.
Note: If you are using Backup Exec for NetWare - Enterprise Edition,
BESTART.NCF files are also installed on remote servers. These files load
the necessary TSAs to allow the backup server to see the remote servers.
Make sure none of the outdated files listed in the previous table are
included in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file on remote servers. Adding the BESTART
command to AUTOEXEC.NCF files on remote servers is recommended.
5. Install the tape device and controller in the backup server (if it is
not already installed).
6. Reboot the backup server and all updated remote servers.
7. After the servers are rebooted, continue with the workstation agent and
client installation or simply load the NetWare client to submit your
first backup. To load the NetWare client, type load be at the system ":"
prompt.
Installing Workstation Agents and Clients
Once the backup server is up and running, you can proceed with installing
workstation agents and clients.

Upgrading From Earlier Versions of Backup Exec
If you are upgrading from Backup Exec version 4.x, make sure that you fully
install all of the components of this version of Backup Exec. The Job
Manager, client and agent modules from Backup Exec version 4.x cannot be
used with this version of Backup Exec.
To upgrade from a previous version of Backup Exec for NetWare:
1. Install this version of Backup Exec for NetWare. Make sure you down
and restart your server after the files are installed.
2. After the server finishes booting, load the job manager (type: BESTART)
if it is not already running. This creates a new job queue (if one
has not yet been created).
3. Run the upgrade program by typing: LOAD BEUPGRAD. The upgrade program
copies jobs from the old job queue to the new one. It also modifies
any jobs that have old agents listed to reference the new agents.
4. Upgrade workstations running Backup Exec agents from a previous
version. When upgrading these agents, you will probably want to keep the
previous agent names and passwords. If you change either the name or
the password on an agent, any jobs in the updated queue that reference
that agent will have to be deleted and re-submitted.
