provides administrators the flexibility to print jobs logs through 
either Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS) or traditional 
queue-based printing
.

the latest performance enhancements 
Support for Novell Directory Services

Cluster Awareness 
Improve system fault tolerance by protecting highly available 
Novell Cluster servers with Backup Exec software leveraging 
Novell Cluster Services to provide automatic backup server 
failover in cluster deployments.  Failure of the primary server 
invokes Backup Exec software’s Checkpoint Restart feature to 
automatically begin operation on a secondary node at the point 
of failure, redirecting the current job and remaining scheduled 
jobs to the secondary node in the cluster.  This allows backup 
jobs that are running during a failover, to restart from the last 
successfully backed up file, directory, or backup set and saves 
administrators time by eliminating the need to restart a backup 
from the beginning.   
 
Faster Backup Performance 
VERITAS Backup Exec 9.1 for NetWare Servers provides 
administrators simple backup, restore, and media management 
operations for maximum flexibility and data protection.  Backup 
Exec software simplifies the creation of backup strategies and 
media rotation.  With new features such as Backup-to-Disk and 
duplication of backup data, disk-staging and off-site storage of 
critical data is further simplified.
 
  
Backup-to-Disk allows administrators to back up and restore 
data from non-removable storage devices such as hard drives, 
reducing backup and restore processing time.  Backups of 
critical data can be performed frequently and later staged to 
removable media such as tape – delivering improved efficiency 
and data protection.  Backup-to-Disk backups can be combined 
with Duplicate Backup Data jobs to provide full data protection.
 
 
Updated Administration Consoles With Wizards 
VERITAS Backup Exec Software’s Administration Console can 
be installed on and run from a NetWare Server or a remote 
Windows system.  The Administration Console includes an 
intuitive user interface with a shortcut bar that allows users to 
group media servers for easy navigation and increased 
manageability.   
 
 
 
 
Centralized password management allows setting or modification of 
passwords from one location, reducing management time.  Integrated 
Calendar View and Holiday Scheduler enables jobs to be modified, 
added to or rescheduled from a single location.  Create utility operations 
to erase or catalog tapes directly from the workstation or from the 
NetWare console, enhancing management capabilities.  Integrated 
reporting allows users to view scheduled jobs, available media, device 
statistics, policy data and much more!  
 
 
 
 
Wizards simplify management with step-by-step detailed instructions for creating 
backup and restore jobs, drive pools and media sets. 
 
Enhanced Media Management 
Backup Exec Software’s media management capabilities automate 
operation of standalone tape drives, single drive and multi-drive tape 
libraries**. Built-in wizards help group backup devices into logical pools, 
create media sets and establish Grandfather-Father-Son media-rotation 
schemes.  Multi-slot utility operations allow administrators to submit 
catalog, erase, inventory, verify and label utility jobs to multiple slots via 
the Java-based or NetWare Administration Console – helping to 
decrease administration time.  
 
Other features such as automatic media labeling and customization, 
cleaning, user-defined retention period, media statistics, catalogs 
displaying volume or media centric view, bar-code reader and portal 
support further simplify day-to-day management.  Drive pools allow jobs 
to run concurrently, and to be automatically directed to the first available 
drive using dynamic load balancing – for optimized performance.  In the 
event a tape drive fails, the job is automatically rerouted to the next 
available drive in the pool, providing fault tolerant processing.  Backup 
Exec enables administrators to copy existing backup sets or those being 
created during a scheduled backup job, providing secondary backups 
that may be used for offsite storage.  Additionally, administrators can use 
this functionality to migrate data between different media types.  
 
Maximum Performance 
The Remote Agents* are performance optimized to protect remote 
NetWare and Windows Servers.  Through its distributed processing and 
source compression, Backup Exec Remote Agents minimize network 
traffic, maximize performance and significantly reduce backup time.
