NetVault Plug-in for Sybase 11.4.5 - User Guide

Client/server environment

A client/server environment is one in which the NetVault Backup Server and the SAP ASE Server are on separate machines, with the SAP ASE Server acting as a client to the NetVault Backup Server. The following table outlines the software and configuration requirements required to create this environment before you install the plug-in.

Software installed and configured

•
NetVault Backup Server or Client software installed
•
SAP ASE Backup Server software installed
•

•
SAP ASE Open Client Runtime software installed
•

•

* 
IMPORTANT: Plug‑in for SAP ASE cannot successfully back up data from a client machine whose NetVault Backup name contains a hyphen (“-”). To be a target of a Plug‑in for SAP ASE backup, a NetVault Backup machine named this way must have NetVault Backup reinstalled and be given a new name that does not use a hyphen.

For details on adding clients to the NetVault Backup Server, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

When many database servers and applications are running, more physical memory, and a higher shared memory setting, may be required.
