Backing up multiple servers

I have 2 NetWare 6.0 servers, each with their own tape drive. Unfortunately, the tape drive in server B does not have the capacity to backup everything on Server B. I would like to backup some of Server B on tape drive B and some of Server B on Tape drive A. What products do I need.

Make sure that sys:\system\bestart.ncf on server B has the '-tr' switch on the line that loads bkupexec.nlm. If it's not there, add it and then do a BESTOP followed by a BESTART.

You then need to add an entry for server B to sys:\bkupexec\ndmpsvrs.dat on server A. Then press F5 on the Backup Exec admin console on server A - this should then allow you to see server B in the selection list. Make sure that name resolution is working in both directions otherwise this will not work. Also make sure that you are using the same version/build on both servers (you can check this by looking at sys:\bkupexec\version.doc).

Hope that helps.
