NetWare backup and restore

Configuring NetWare for UnixWare backup/restore

The procedure below shows you how to prepare to back up a UnixWare system from a NetWare server.

Perform this procedure from any server listed in the /etc/unixtsa.conf file on your UnixWare system, or from any server connected to a server listed in /etc/unixtsa.conf.

For a NetWare 3.11, 3.12, or 4.0 system, load the following NLMs:

LOAD UNIXLIB
LOAD TSA311 (for a 3.11 system)
LOAD TSA312 (for a 3.12 system)
LOAD TSA400 (for a 4.0 system)
LOAD TSAPROXY
If the LOAD command cannot find the NLM specified, you may not have installed the NLM software. See ``NetWare Loadable Modules'' for instructions.
Create a log directory for backups, if one does not already exist. For example:
```
SYS:SYSTEM\TSA\LOG
```
Use an appropriate NetWare utility (such as FILER) to create the directory, if necessary.
Make sure that the appropriate protocol (TCP/IP or IPX/SPX) is bound to a network interface card.
You must bind the protocol that corresponds to the protocol listed for the server in the file /etc/unixtsa.conf on the UnixWare system; if more than one protocol is listed in unixtsa.conf, then bind at least one of them.
For SPX in the unixtsa.conf file, you must bind the IPX protocol on the NetWare server. For TCP in the unixtsa.conf file, you must bind the IP protocol on the NetWare server.
NOTE: For more information on the unixtsa.conf file, see ``Configuring UnixWare for backup/restore from NetWare''.
Check the currently bound protocols on the NetWare server by entering the PROTOCOL command on the NetWare console.
Typical output of this command showing an interface card with both IP and IPX bound to it is shown below:
```
Protocol: IPX Frame type: VIRTUAL_LAN Protocol ID: 0
Protocol: ARP Frame type: ETHERNET_II Protocol ID: 806
Protocol: IP Frame type: ETHERNET_II Protocol ID: 800
Protocol: IPX Frame type: ETHERNET_II Protocol ID: 8137
```
If you need to bind a protocol to a network card, use the BIND NetWare console command. An example is shown below for both IP and IPX.

BIND IPX TO NE2000 NET=network_address
BIND IP TO NE2000 ADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx MASK=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
where network_address is your system's IPX address, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your system and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the network mask (for example, 255.255.255.0).
If you want to be able to backup UnixWare systems via TCP/IP, you must set up the SYS:ETC\HOSTS file.
This file must contain the node names and IP addresses of all UnixWare systems that you want to be able to backup via TCP/IP from the NetWare server. A sample of the file appears below.
```
# "IP Address", "Hostname"
147.2.107.192 basil
147.2.107.196 cecil
147.2.107.225 peril
```
Each IP address and node name must be separated by a <Tab> character.
NOTE: Other products (such as Network Information Services, NIS) can be used to coordinate the contents of the SYS:ETC\HOSTS file. If one of these products is installed, consult the documentation for the product to create and maintain the configuration files for NUC; the procedures given will be effective for NUC as well.

You can now back up UnixWare from NetWare.
