Installation Requirements

Before you enable the Backup archive program, make sure you have:

• An archive enabler certificate for the Backup server.

• Backup Server Edition, Backup Network Edition, or Backup Power Edition installed and enabled on the Backup server.

• A device, either standalone or in an autochanger or silo, connected to a Backup server or storage node. To clone your archives, you must have two devices available.

How to Evaluate Backup Archive

If you already have an authorized copy of Backup software, you must enter a special evaluation enabler to evaluate Backup Archive. The evaluation period is 45 days; Backup Archive stops functioning at the end of the evaluation period.

Follow the instructions listed under "How to Enable Backup Archive " to enter the special evaluation enabler code:

# nsrcap -v -c e76c69-a87b2c-3f8fbe

You can only use this evaluation enabler code once per network, or it disables all the Backup servers (even for backup) that you enabled with it.

When you purchase Backup Archive, SunSoft or your Authorized Reseller sends a new enabler code that you can register and authorize for permanent use. To enter your new enabler code, delete the current Archive Support record (which includes the evaluation enabler code) in the Registration resource, then follow the instructions in "Enabling, Registering, and Authorizing Backup Archive".

Enabling, Registering, and Authorizing Backup Archive

The Backup distribution files include the Backup Archive software.

If you are evaluating Backup, the archive program is automatically enabled for a 30-day evaluation period. To continue to use the archive program after the evaluation period, you must purchase and enter the enabler code, as described, and register the product.

If you want to evaluate Backup Archive with an enabled Backup server, see the instructions in "How to Evaluate Backup Archive".

If you want to use Backup Archive indefinitely, you must follow the instructions explaining how to enable, register, and authorize Backup Archive.
