Getting Started
The Enterprise Windows Client (EWC) allows the integration of Windows hosts into the backup3G policy based backup environment. The management and delegation of the backup policy is centralised on a UNIX host. The backup environment can contain any number of UNIX and Windows hosts. These hosts and their resources (tape drives, filesystems, etc.) are then accessible by any other host in the environment.
This facilitates backup and recovery of Windows data to:
- a local Windows tape drive
- a remote Windows tape drive
- a remote UNIX tape drive
The backup tapes are also interchangeable between both operating systems. So a backup of Windows data to a local tape drive can be recovered to another Windows host via a UNIX tape drive. Other features including controlling services and registry backup and recovery are also provided.
The EWC software consists of two components. The component that is installed under backup3G is referred to as the Enterprise Windows Client Module. The component that resides on the Windows host is referred to as the Enterprise Windows Client. EWC supports Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows 2003. EBC Module supports both backup3G 3.0 and backup3G 3.2.1.
