Flag all SBACKUP files SRW in the SYS:SYSTEM directory for the version of NetWare being updated (see list above). Note: The TSA_SMS.COM file for DOS resides in the SYS:PUBLIC subdirectory. 2. Rename the SBACKUP files to *.OLD. 3. Copy all update files, for the version of NetWare being updated, to the SYS:SYSTEM directory. 4. Change the file flags back to ROS. *************** *** CAUTION *** *************** Currently, SBACKUP does not do READ-AFTER-WRITE verification of the data that is backed up. Therefore, it is important to manually verify all backups. One way of accomplishing this is to follow example one in the Commonly Asked Questions section -- "How to Restore a file to a new location." -Restore several files to a new location on the system. Execute a DOS compare on the restored files against their originals, which will verify that the files are being backed up correctly and that they can be restored. NOTE: This does not represent a complete verification. Novell recommends that the user follow this process with every backup set made and the process should be made a regular step in the backup procedure. Solution Specifics: Explanation of TAPEDAI.DSK and DIBIDAI.NLM. TAPEDAI.DSK The TAPEDAI.DSK file is a NetWare 386 device driver written to control certain tape devices. It is used with the DIBIDAI.NLM program. The DIBIDAI.NLM program presents a DIBI interface to the SBACKUP.NLM program. Additionally, the DIBIDAI.NLM program translates the DIBI requests into NetWare DAI calls. This eventually results in device driver calls getting passed to the TAPEDAI.DSK driver through the same IO request mechanism used by NetWare to obtain disk service. The TAPEDAI.DSK driver must be loaded before loading the SBACKUP utility. If the driver is used often, the user may want to load it from within the STARTUP.NCF file. However, with NetWare 4.0x and 3.12, if the TAPEDAI.DSK driver is loaded anywhere other than the STARTUP.NCF file (such as, the server console prompt or the AUTOEXEC.NCF file) the command "SCAN FOR NEW DEVICES" will need to be executed after the driver is loaded and before SBACKUP is loaded or the tape drive will not be recognized. Dependencies The TAPEDAI.DSK driver targets any ASPI compliant disk drivers. Check with the driver manufacturer to confirm ASPI compliancy. Consequently, the ASPI compliant disk driver must be loaded before loading TAPEDAI.DSK. Target Devices The TAPEDAI.DSK driver has been tested (not necessarily certified) with the following devices: Manufacturer Product ARCHIVE Python CIPHER T826 (half inch - 2.6 GB) CIPHER T860 (half inch - 6 GB) EXABYTE EXB-8500 HP HP35450A HP HP35470A* HP HP35480A* TANDBERG TDC 3800 TANDBERG TDC 4100 TANDBERG TDC 4200 WANGDAT 1300 WANGDAT 3200 WANGTEK 5525ES WANGTEK 6130 WANGTEK WANGTEK_6130_HS A GENERIC driver has been added to the TAPEDAI.DSK driver, which will support most SCSI interface tape drives (the ONLY Exabyte that will work with TAPEDAI.DSK is the EXB-8500 -- all others will not be recognized). Novell makes no guarantee as to the correct functionality of any drive not listed above. The user assumes all responsibility for testing their tape drive solution with SBACKUP to ensure correct functionality. *(The HP35470A and HP35480A must be set through your dip switches so that the SCSI Valid Bit is set upon crossing Early Warning. If this is not done, sessions that span tapes won't be reliable. You should perform a test backup and restore across tapes to confirm that the switches are set properly. The file that actually spans tapes is the one to test.) SMDR.NLM Storage Management Data Requester. Controls transfer of data and commands between the SBACKUP engine and the TSA. TSA Files TSA311.NLM Target Service Agent for the NetWare 3.11 server. The program loads with the SMDR31x.NLM program. The file allows a 3.11 server to be backed up or restored from a 3.12 or 4.0x server. TSA312.NLM Target Service Agent for the NetWare 3.12 server. SMDR31x.NLM Support module for the NetWare 3.1x service agents. TSA400.NLM Target Service Agent for the NetWare 4.0x server. TSA_DOS.NLM Target Service Agent for DOS clients. This file is used with the TSA_SMS.COM file. WS_MAN.NLM This file is the support module for the TSA_DOS.NLM file. TSA_OS2.NLM Target Service Agent for OS/2 clients. This file is used with the TSA_SMS.COM file for OS/2. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Any trademarks referenced in this document are the property of their respective owners.
