NetWare Client Agent Configuration ■ If the Exchange Information Store is offline, the Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server provides an empty list of Exchange databases and log files that should be excluded from the backup job. As a result, CA ARCserve Backup does not skip the Exchange server files and includes all files during the file system backup. NetWare Client Agent Configuration The following sections discuss the configuration of CA ARCserve Backup NetWare client agent. Note: Your Windows machine must be configured with the Novell client for Windows, so that you can install and run NetWare servers in your network. NetWare-related Configuration Notes Be aware of the following issues when configuring the NetWare client agent: ■ Multiple jobs are not supported. The NetWare client agent can service only one job at a time. Trying to submit jobs to the client agent from multiple CA ARCserve Backup servers at the same time may cause the current job to fail. ■ CA ARCserve Backup skips open NetWare files during a backup. When backing up NetWare files using the NetWare client agent, in some cases multiple files are detected as open and are skipped during the backup. Should this happen, select the Retry tab in the Backup Options dialog, and then select the Use Lock Mode if Deny Write Fails option in the File Sharing section, and resubmit the job. ■ NetWare has a 255 character path name limit; for example, DIR1\DIR2\...DIRx. This restriction applies only to NetWare and not to other client agents, such as those for Windows, UNIX or Linux systems. Note: If a NetWare path name exceeds 255 characters, backup and restore operations work properly but path entries are truncated when they are displayed during browsing. Also, the Restore to Original or Alternate Location options still work for restores to the same client agent types. Configure NetWare Network Communication To configure the NetWare client agent for communication, edit the ASCONFIG.INI file to specify the IP address assigned to the client agent by the system administrator. Specifying an IP address is useful in a server with multiple IP addresses. Instead of using only the first bound address, the client agent uses the ASCONFIG.INI file to find the IP address to use.

NetWare Client Agent Configuration
Chapter 3: Adding and Configuring the Client Agents
33
■
If the Exchange Information Store is offline, the Agent for Microsoft
Exchange Server provides an empty list of Exchange databases and log files
that should be excluded from the backup job.
As a result, CA ARCserve Backup does not skip the Exchange server files and
includes all files during the file system backup.
NetWare Client Agent Configuration
The following sections discuss the configuration of CA ARCserve Backup NetWare
client agent.
Note:
Your Windows machine must be configured with the Novell client for
Windows, so that you can install and run NetWare servers in your network.
NetWare-related Configuration Notes
Be aware of the following issues when configuring the NetWare client agent:
■
Multiple jobs are not supported. The NetWare client agent can service only
one job at a time. Trying to submit jobs to the client agent from multiple CA
ARCserve Backup servers at the same time may cause the current job to fail.
■
CA ARCserve Backup skips open NetWare files during a backup. When
backing up NetWare files using the NetWare client agent, in some cases
multiple files are detected as open and are skipped during the backup.
Should this happen, select the Retry tab in the Backup Options dialog, and
then select the Use Lock Mode if Deny Write Fails option in the File Sharing
section, and resubmit the job.
■
NetWare has a 255 character path name limit; for example,
DIR1\DIR2\
…DIRx. This restriction applies only to NetWare and not to other
client agents, such as those for Windows, UNIX or Linux systems.
Note:
If a NetWare path name
exceeds 255 characters, backup and restore
operations work properly but path entries are truncated when they are
displayed during browsing. Also, the Restore to Original or Alternate
Location options still work for restores to the same client agent types.
Configure NetWare Network Communication
To configure the NetWare client agent for communication, edit the
ASCONFIG.INI file to specify the IP address assigned to the client agent by the
system administrator. Specifying an IP address is useful in a server with multiple
IP addresses. Instead of using only the first bound address, the client agent uses
the ASCONFIG.INI file to find the IP address to use.
