5.2 Server-based Backup/Restore Support
The server-based backup/restore utility, Sbackup, comes with the NetWare OS. The DC-
395's ASPI drivers provide an interface between this utility and the tape subsystem. To run
Sbackup, at the NetWare prompt type:
:load tsa410 <Return>
:load sbackup <Return>
The Sbackup screen will appear. Input the user name as requested and select the device
driver. Be sure to select the item HP DIBI-2 Tape Driver regardless of which type of tape
drive you are using.
Different versions of NetWare may have slight differences in their procedures for running
Sbackup. For example, under NetWare 3.12 you may have to execute the following
procedures instead: load tapedai; load tsa312, load sbackup, key in username, and then select
DIBI-2 DAI Tape Drive. So, refer to the NetWare manual regarding Server Backup for
detailed backup/restore procedures.
5.3 Removable Media Support
Removable media devices, including Magneto-Optical (MO) Disks, differ from Fixed Disks
in that the media can be dynamically changed (ejecting and inserting disks while the system
is running).
Due to the caching capability and file structure of the NetWare operating system, it is
hazardous to change a file system (disk) in operation without the operating system being
notified. Should this happen, the file system would probably be corrupted. Another problem
arises when a new disk (file system) is inserted. The operating system needs to be informed
of the change and the new disk geometry passed on in order for the new file system to be
recognized. In NetWare terms, these problems deal with the mounting and dismounting of file
systems on removable devices. The following procedures illustrate how these problems can
be overcome:
5.3.1 Mounting a File System
To mount a file system on removable media, insert the cartridge and wait for the disk to spin
up. At the NetWare prompt, type
:load monitor <Return>
1. Select Disk Information
2. Select the corresponding drive with removable media
