NetWorker ClientPak for MPE/iX
If you have used NetWorker software on a UNIX or NT server, then you know that
NetWorker normally has a graphical user interface (GUI).
The NetWorker ClientPak for MPE/iX does not have a GUI. Instead, you must enter
commands from either an MPE/iX Command Interpreter (CI) shell or from a POSIX
shell.
MPE Client
From the MPE client, you can enter commands to perform client-initiated backups,
recovers, and archives of your data.
To configure your MPE client to be included in the automatic server-initiated backups,
use the nwadmin GUI on the NetWorker server for your HP 3000 MPE client.
About Legato NetWorker for MPE/iX
Legato NetWorker is a software product for network storage management. A
NetWorker client is a computer on the network configured to have its files
automatically backed up by the NetWorker server.
The NetWorker server is the computer on your network that runs the NetWorker
server software, stores the client indexes and media database, and provides backup
and recovery services to the clients on the network. Once your system administrator
installs NetWorker on your HP 3000 and configures a NetWorker server to recognize
your HP 3000 as a NetWorker client, then NetWorker can do a server-initiated backup of
your HP 3000 automatically. Refer to the Legato NetWorker Administrator’s Guide for
information on configuring your HP 3000 as a NetWorker client on a NetWorker server.
With Legato NetWorker for MPE/iX, you can also perform client-initiated backups. Once
you back up your data from either the server or the client, you can use NetWorker to
recover any lost or damaged data. NetWorker for MPE/iX backs up and recovers your
entire MPE file system with permissions and the hierarchical file systems (HFS) intact.
