Copy the dos executable file TSAFORMA.EXE to a NetWare volume with Macintosh name space support. 2. Execute the file from a DOS workstation to self extract to the Macintosh binary self extracting archive. (Type "TSAFORMA" at the DOS prompt.) 3. Execute the Macintosh self extracting archive from a Macintosh workstation. (Double click on the TSA for Mac.SEA icon from a Macintosh client to expand it.) Installing and Loading Macintosh Target Service Agent Introduction This document contains procedures for installing and loading the Macintosh Target Service Agent (MacTSA), which, when used in conjunction with a backup engine (like SBACKUP), makes it possible to backup and restore data on Macintosh workstations from NetWare host servers (servers with a backup device attached). For procedures on backing up or restoring a workstation, see Chapter 9, "Backing Up and Restoring Data," in the NetWare 4.1 version of Supervising the Network. Suggestion: We recommend you use MacTSA with a 3.12 or 4.x host server. Important!! If you are using a 68020 Macintosh, and are trying to connect to a 3.11 server on a slow machine (80386/16mhz), connections may fail. If you must use a 3.11 host server, ensure that you are using the following versions of NLMs. TLI.NLM 9/14/93 10:43 STREAMS.NLM 7/20/93 4:19 CLIB.NLM 5/19/94 10:27 SPXS.NLM 5/17/94 9:58 Important!! If your speed rating is less than 242, it may not allow connections to be established or maintained. Check your speed rating by typing SPEED at your host server system prompt. Installing the Macintosh Target Service Agent Checklist 1. Determine if you have a copy of TSAProxy.nlm residing in the SYS:SYSTEM directory of your host server (the server with the backup device attached to it). It is available on Netwire, and it was shipped with NetWare 4.1. If you haven't already installed TSAProxy.nlm on your server, you will be prompted to do so later in this document. The TSAProxy.nlm serves as a registry point for Windows 95, OS/2, Macintosh and UnixWare workstations, and it is required in order for SBACKUP to recognize these workstations. 2. Ensure you are using a Macintosh 68020 machine or higher running System 7. MacTSA won't run on a 68000 machine or on System 6.x. If MacTSA is launched on an unsupported machine, a user alert will be posted. 3. The MacTSA requires MacIPX version 1.2 or greater be installed. Procedure 1. If you use the Aladdin Installer the "MacTSA" application and the "MacTSA Prefs" application will be placed in a MacTSA folder on your startup disk. Otherwise, copy the "MacTSA" application and the "MacTSA Prefs" application to your hard disk. You can place these applications anywhere on the hard disk. Suggestion: You may want to place the "MacTSA" application in your "StartupItems" folder (found in the "System" folder) so that MacTSA is launched at startup. Note: "MacTSA" is a faceless, background-only application, so it will not appear in the pull down list of running applications. Loading the Macintosh Target Service Agent Checklist 1. Ensure that you have installed and setup your backup engine on the server according to the manufacturer's instructions before proceeding. 2. Ensure that you have installed the required software according to"Installing the Macintosh Target Service Agent." Procedure 1. At the host server console prompt, load TSAProxy.nlm. 2. From the hard drive, double-click on the "MacTSA Prefs" application. Note: The username and password referred to in Step 2 are specifically for the MacTSA, and are not necessarily the same as the Macintosh owner name and password, or the NetWare username and password. This is the username and password that SBACKUP requires of the person performing a backup of the workstation. At the "MacTSA Preferences" dialog box, 2.1 Enter the MacTSA username you want to use to connect to the workstation from SBACKUP (or other backup engine). 2.2 Enter the MacTSA password you want to use to connect to the workstation from SBACKUP (or other backup engine). 2.3 Identify the host server (where TSAProxy.nlm resides). 2.4 From the "File" menu, select "Quit." Note: Step 2 only has to be done once. If you wish to change your name and password, you may run this again. 3. Name Your Macintosh 3.1 From the "System" folder, open the "Control Panels" folder. 3.2. From the "Control Panels" folder, open "Sharing Setup" and complete the following. 3.2.1 Skip the "Owner Name" and "Owner Password" items. 3.2.2 Complete the "Macintosh Name" item. This name is independent of any other name, like a username. This is the name that will appear in SBACKUP (or your backup engine) on the list of workstations available as backup or restore targets. 3.2.3 Skip the "File Sharing" and "Program Linking" sections of the screen. 3.2.4 Close "Sharing Setup." 4. From the hard drive, double-click on the "MacTSA" application. When you run SBACKUP (or another backup engine), your Macintosh name should now appear in the list of workstations available as backup or restore targets. Note: If SBACKUP (the backup engine included in NetWare 4.1) doesn't find a name in "Sharing Setup," the workstation is called "unknown" in the list of workstation targets in SBACKUP. For more information on SBACKUP.NLM, see "Backing Up and Restoring Data" in Supervising the Network, which is part of the NetWare 4.1 manual set. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Any trademarks referenced in this document are the property of their respective owners.
