Novell NetWare Installation
Using the NetWare Tape Backup
Included with Novell NetWare is a server-based tape backup utility
called
sbackup.nlm
. This utility allows you to backup server disk
drives to a server tape drive. The utility supports Adaptec host
adapters.
Novell NetWare documentation contains instructions for loading
the server backup software. Refer to the NetWare Server Backup
Manual to load the
tapedai
,
tsa
, and
sbackup
modules.
1
Once you have loaded
aic7870.dsk
or
aic78u2.ham
, load
tapedai.dsk,
tsaxxx.nlm (tsa312.nlm, tsa400.nlm, tsa410.nlm),
and
sbackup
with these options:
:load tapedai
:load tsa
xxx
:load sbackup
The appropriate driver that interfaces
sbackup
to ASPI is
loaded automatically.
If you are duplexing the Adaptec 7800 Family host adapter with
another host adapter for NetWare drive mirroring, you must
also load the appropriate ASPI manager (
.dsk
) for the second
host adapter.
2
When
sbackup
is loaded, it asks for a login name. Enter the
appropriate name.
3
If
sbackup
asks you to select the device driver, select the
HP
DIBI-2 Tape Driver, regardless of the type of SCSI tape drive
being attached (e.g., even if the tape drive is manufactured by
Wangtek, do not select the Wangtek driver).
Note:
Novell also includes a driver called
adaptec.nlm
.
This driver is not needed and should not be loaded.
Adaptec’s driver module takes advantage of ASPI
interface features bypassed by
adaptec.nlm
.
Novell publishes a list of SCSI tape drives supported by
sbackup.nlm
.
