4. On the clients tab of the dialog box, click
New
.
5. In the Client Name box, type the name of the client that you are adding.
Observe the following rules for assigning client names:
• Use numeric, alphabetic, plus, minus, underscore, and period characters.
Do not use a minus as the first character or leave any spaces between
characters.
• If you put the client in multiple classes, use the same name in each class.
• Use a name by which the server knows the client (one that you can use
on the server to
ping
or
telnet
to the client).
• If the network configuration has multiple domains, use a more qualified
name. For example, use mars.bdev.null.com or mars.bdev rather than just
mars.
6. Click the Hardware and Operating System list box and pick from the list.
Be certain to add only clients with hardware and operating systems that this
class supports. For example, do not add a Novell NetWare client to an MS-
Windows-NT class.
7. To add another client, click New and repeat the above steps. If this is the
last client, click
OK to close the dialog box
.
Specifying the List of Files to Back Up
The file list for a class is the list of files and directories that NetBackup includes
in automatic backups (full and incremental) of clients that belong to the class.
NetBackup backs up only the files it finds and does not require that all entries
in the list be present on every client.
Note:
The class file list does not apply to user backups or archives because
users select the files before they start the operation.
