How to Create a New Client

To create a new Backup client, display the Clients resource in either the Backup administration program (nwadmin) or the nsradmin interface. Select the Create option and enter the hostname of the client machine.

If you choose not to customize the configuration choices, the new Backup client is automatically assigned the default configuration, after you apply and save the changes. (See "Clients Resource " for more information about the default configuration for Backup clients.) The default setting of All for the Save Set attribute means that all the files on the client are backed up during a scheduled or manual backup. (See "What Is a Save Set? " for information about client save sets.)

Refer to the Backup online help for specific information about each of the attributes you can configure in the Clients resource. Refer to the nsradmin man page for more information on how to use the nsradmin interface to create, edit, and delete Backup resources.
