7.1.2. Additional Requirements
■
In addition to the system requirements, the follow-
ing criteria must be met:
You must be logged on as an administrator to install
Windows Backup Software and run it for the first
time. However, after you have run the application
once as an administrator, you can subsequently run it
when logged on as a user.
If your computer name includes any characters other
than letters (A-Z or a-z), numbers (0-9), hyphens (-),
colons (:), or periods (.), you must change the com-
puter name before you use Windows Backup Soft-
ware to protect a disk.
If you’re using a firewall on the computer that you
plan to protect, open TCP port 11762 on the fire-
wall. This ensures that Windows Backup Software
can communicate with the Ethernet Disk RAID. In
additon, make sure that your firewall does not block
incoming network communication to the Microsoft
iSCSI Initiator*.

ImpOrTANT INfO:
Previous releases allowed
the use of underscores (_) in the computer name.
If your computer name included this character and
you protected a disk, you must remove protection
from all disks (as described in section
7.9.5. Re-
moving Protection
), delete the client (as described
in section
5.6.4. Deleting a Client
), and protect
the disks again (as described in section
7.2. Pro-
tecting Your Disks
). In addition, when you protect
your disks again, you must remove the Ethernet
Disk RAID from the list of backup locations and
add it again (as described in step 4 in section
7.2.
Protecting Your Disks
.)
