Windows 95 Clients

On Windows 95 clients, you must manually edit and verify the following files accordingly:

• The HOSTS file, typically found in C:\WINDOWS, must contain the Internet address of the Backup client and the Backup server, unless you are using DNS or WINS. The HOSTS file is a simple ASCII text file with one line for each IP address. The IP address is the first entry on the line followed by the hostname and all aliases for each machine, for example:

  127.0.0.1 localhost loopback 137.69.8.1 server server.companyname.com 137.69.8.2 client client.companyname.com

• Your Windows 95 directory, typically C:\WINDOWS, should contain a sample HOSTS file, named HOST.SAM, that gives details about adding entries to an actual HOSTS file. Do not delete or comment out the entry for localhost loopback.

  If you are using DNS or WINS, verify that this DNS or WINS server has entries for both the Backup client and the Backup server.

• The SERVERS file is in C:\PROGRAM FILES\LEGATO\NSR\RES. Backup uses the contents of this file to control who has the right to request a program to be executed on this client.

  If you want this client to back up to other Backup servers, you must add the names of the additional Backup servers to this file. One server name per line.

  If you want other clients to be able to perform directed recovers to this client, you will need to add their names to the \nsr\res\servers file. One client name per line.

  If you want to allow any Backup server to back up this Backup client, delete the SERVERS file.

  After you save your changes, you must restart the Backup Remote Exec Service to make your changes take effect.

  To allow any Backup server to back up this Backup client, delete the SERVERS file.

• The Windows 95 client must have the latest service pack from Microsoft applied.

• Make sure that the Backup Scheduled Backup (wtcpschd.exe) is running. Put a copy of Backup Scheduled Backup in the Startup folder to enable scheduled backup to run automatically.
