Legato NetWorker
Tailoring the backup service
No server-side tailoring is required for NetWorker other than adding the client to
the backup server. Before creating a new backup client, ensure that the client does
not already exist in the server.
NetWorker allows more than one instance of a client, so ensure that you do not
create additional instances unless you are certain that is what you want to do.
To create a new backup client, or determine if a backup client exists, use the
nwadmin program on the NetWorker server:
1. Select Clients > Client Setup. The list of current clients is presented in a
scrolling list at the top of the window.
2. Click Create to create a new client. Enter the following information in the
fields; do not change fields other than those listed below.
• Name—Enter the fully qualified domain name of your RaQ XTR server
(for example, raqxtr.cobalt.com).
• Group—Select your backup group (for example, default or bob).
• Directives—Select “Unix Standard Directives”.
• Aliases—Enter the host name of your RaQ XTR (for example, foo).
• Optionally, select Details from the File menu and set the “Owner
Notification” field to:
/bin/mail -s 'client backup completed' owner@domain
where client is the fully qualified domain name of the RaQ XTR and
owner@domain is the email address of the person to receive the
savegroup completion notifications from NetWorker.
3. Click Apply.
✍
Note: The command shown above assumes that the mail program
on the Legato NetWorker backup server is located in the directory
/bin/mail.
If the mail program is in a different location on your backup server,
specify that path instead in the command for the email notification.
