Initial Administration Tasks

After you install Backup according to the instructions in the Solstice Backup 5.1 Installation and Release Notes, you must do several tasks befor e you can use Backup to back up data.

Basic Configuration for the Backup Server

To configure your Backup server, you can either use the GUI (nwadmin) or character- based interface (nsradmin) of the Backup administration program, or you can enter commands at the command line. Refer to the online help or Backup man pages for instructions explaining how to use each interface. Before you can run Backup, some configuration is required that is strictly unique to your environment: *Enter an enabler code that unlocks the features of the software that you
purchased for you to use for 45 days. (Evaluation enabler codes unlock the
features of the software for you to use for 45 days. Before the 45 days expire, you
must purchase and enter a permanent enabler code to continue to use each
evaluated feature). See "Enabler Code Entry" on page 13 for more information.
