Legato NetWorker ClientPak for MPE/iX Installation Guide

Installing NetWorker on a Client

This guide provides instructions for installing the NetWorker data storage

management software on MPE/iX client systems.

Before installing NetWorker on your MPE/iX clients, you must install

NetWorker on a server; otherwise, NetWorker will not work properly. Refer to

the Legato NetWorker Installation and Maintenance Guide or the Legato NetWorker

Quick Start Guide that was shipped with your NetWorker server software for

instructions on installing NetWorker on a server.

A NetWorker server is a machine running the NetWorker server software with

a backup device connected to it. The server provides backup and recover

services to all client machines on the network. A client is a machine that

accesses the NetWorker server to back up or recover ﬁles. Server software is

packaged and sold separately from client software.

After you install Legato NetWorker on a client, refer to the Legato NetWorker

Administrator’s Guide to conﬁgure the client to back up to a NetWorker server.

You can access the Legato NetWorker Administrator’s Guide and the Legato

Disaster Recovery Guide through the Documents Library option at

www.legato.com.

New Features

With release 5.0 of the Legato NetWorker ClientPak for MPE/iX, you can now

schedule automatic backups of MPE volume sets from the NetWorker server

to which your HP 3000 is an MPE client. You can also do manual backups of

MPE volume sets from the HP 3000 NetWorker MPE client. Refer to “Backing

Up Volume Sets” and to “Recovering Volume Sets” in the Legato NetWorker

ClientPak for MPE/iX User’s Guide for more information on saving and

recovering MPE volume sets.

Release 5.0 has the ability to run two or more scheduled backups in parallel.

You can also perform manual backups or recovers of ﬁles, directories or MPE

volume sets in parallel.

You can also set the following system variables for both server-initiated

backups and for client-initiated backups. The different system variables that

you can set are as follows:

• Set the NetWorker time zone to match the STORE process

• Create logs of your NetWorker backups

• Store shadow logs of TurboSTORE online backups on a separate MPE

volume set

• Preserve the backup date for recovered ﬁles
