Chapter 3— SnapBack for NetWare
Logging In
To use the SnapBack Console program, you must log into a
server that has the SnapBack Server software installed. This
is necessary even if you have already logged into the
network. SnapBack authenticates the user to the network to
ensure that an authorized user is accessing the backup
program.
In file-based backup programs, the user performing the
backup must have read and file scan rights to every drive
and directory on the system. This is not a problem if the
user is supervisor equivalent. If not, the user application
can’t access all files on the system and an incomplete
backup may result.
However, since SnapBack performs an image-based
backup, it overcomes this problem. SnapBack takes a
complete snapshot of everything on the drive regardless of
the security status of the user performing the backup.
To provide backup security under NetWare, the user must
be a member of the SNAPBACK_OPERATORS group to run
the Console program. This completely resolves the issue of
incomplete backups due to inaccessible files and directories
on the network.
Note > Even though a user with limited access rights is capable of backing
up the entire system, restoring the image also restores the security settings
in effect at the time the image was created.
