BE v8.6 2000 - Agents & OFA

Here are some pointers on the Netware agent:

1. Is the Netware agent installed on all of the Netware servers?
2. Is the agent active on the Netware servers? To see type MODULES B* and
look for BKUPEXEC.NLM and BEREMOTE.NLM. If these are not there, type
BESTART to load them.
3. In BENT goto Tools / Options / Network and check "Enable agents using
NetWare IPX/SPX protocol".
4. When you define your backup job, be sure and use the "Netware Storage
Management Services" node and not the "Netware and Compatible Network" node
in the selection list.

I have never used OFA, sorry. I don't think that W2K Pro needs an agent,
but W2K Server does.
