Configuring Legato NetWorker Backup Software

• Devices: Select all the NDMP devices that will receive IP4700

backups.

Next, create a schedule. Make sure that incremental backups are not

selected; these will result in full backups. Use level 1 through level 9

backups instead. For more information on levels, refer to your

NetWorker Administrator’s Guide.

Testing the Backup

After adding backup to your IP4700 system, you can make sure that

everything is operating properly by doing the following:

• Run a backup

• Run a restore

Running a Backup To run a backup follow these steps:

1. Run the Networker Administrator program.

2. Select the backup server.

3. Select Create and new Group.

4. In the Name field, type Te st for the group name.

5. In the Level field, select Full as the level of backup.

6. In the Retries field, enter 1 to ensure that the backup tolerates

link-down and link-up behavior that results when systems are

rebooted or when network cables are disconnected and

reconnected.

7. Click OK.

8. Follow these steps to create a client for the Test group:

a. Run the NetWorker Administrator program.

b. Select the backup server.

c. Select create clients.

d. In the Name field, type the backup server host name.

If possible, use the short host name, for example, client1, not

the fully qualified domain name (for example,

client1.customer.com). NetWorker automatically adds the

short name and the fully qualified domain name to the alias

field.
