RE: Back up of NT server

["Dave Miller" <dlmiller@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The as400 backups will backup all the disk space that has been allocated to the Netfinity server.  This backup is more of a disaster recovery backup.  All the NT disk packs are a set.  If you want to restore using the as/400 backups you must restore all of the NT disks from tape.  You can not restore a single file or directory.

 

The NT backups using "backup" from the NT server console is a file level backup / restore.  To properly be able to recover a single file or directory you should do both the as/400 backups and the NT backups.

Angie,

 

Since the IPCS carves it's storage out of existing 400 disks, the normal backups you run should backup up the server storage as well, so we have not looked into an additional step but.... you might try starting the NT backup program and see if it sees the tape drives. You also might need to do the same thing with the tapes as you do with the CD e.g. vary it off on the 400 side and capture the device and lock it to the NT, that done it should work just like any other PC backup only to the 400 tape drive whatever flavor you have.

 

If you will, post the results here, I guess I am also curious about this.

If we are using our IPCS card as our NT server can we back up the NT server to a tape drive on the AS/400??

 

If yes - HOW?

 

Thanks for any help!
