Backing up an XP Workstation from Netware 6 Server

Joncy123

Hi I have a Netware 6 cluster of two servers with a backup device attached to one of them which backs-up the cluster array data to a tape device through Backupexec for netware.

FURTHER INFO:

I have been trying to enable backup of the internal drive of an XP (sp2) workstatsion to the central backup unit on our 2 server cluster. The backup software is Backupexec 9.1 and is on Server2 or the system.

I have enabled the TSA software on the XP workstation and it is running (Started) in the services section of the XP modules.

When I scan for new clients on Server2 via Backupexec it is detected, but when I try a sample backup of the Workstation through Backupexec I cannot login to the Workstation TSA from the Backupexec console.
ERROR - Unable to log into Server2 Workstation. Enter another user name and password (if I use any netware usernames), if I continue and use the station Administrator username/password I get:

ERROR Password Failure - press any key to continue

When I do this I can submit a backup job, which them fails with the ERROR Unable to communicate with the Target server (24711)

I should be able to get this to backup an XP workstation - does anyone have any experience of this type of setup?

Any help would be appreciated.

HI

 

Backupexec 9.1 is no longer not supported

 

Thanks

BackupExec for Netware latest release is v9.2

That being said, BENW is no longer a supported product at all, AFAIK

Thanks Ken, but as I said before this is not a solution to the problem.

There is no up-grade path away from this level of software unless my client wants to dump Netware, which he does not - so hopefully somone out there will have some experience of this and be able to post a solution for me, or at least a path to follow for me to try and solve it myself?

Any more help?
