Prerequisites for Backup and Restore
Adding Users
To explore the Microsoft Windows Network and search for an existing user to add to the user group, a
prior connection to the remote system where the user account resides is required. Because of the strict
network security settings in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 systems, the host cannot list the
users, if there is no existing network connection point has been established. To establish a network
connection, execute \\system_name in an administrator’s command shell or select “run” from the Start
Menu. Provide the necessary authentication parameters. After the connection is established, the list of users
can be viewed and browsed in the Data Protector user-context pane.
Backup and Restore of Share Information
In Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, there are two ways of sharing directories; either visible only
to local users or visible across the network.
