Overview -------- This document describes the contents and installation of the ES-Backup update up001. up001 contents -------------- This update is made of four Unix compressed tar-archives used for updateing ES-Backup 2.0.3 on Solaris 2.5.1, Solaris 2.6/2.7 in 32-bit mode, Solaris 2.7 in 64-bit mode, and Linux on Intel, respectively. NOTE: Do not install this update on any other version of ES-Backup than version 2.0.3 . Each tar-archive includes three files: supportinfo: - - - - - - This executable script will be installed in the subfolder etc/ of the ES-Backup Server installation directory specified during the installation. - New (Server): The ES-Backup Server installation directory (e.g. /usr/local/bu/) now contains a script called "supportinfo" in the subdirectory etc/ . The purpose of this script is to collect ES-Backup related configuration information form the server, e.g. ES-Backup configuration files, device entries, log files, etc. which are needed in case problems are reported to the UGS support department. This script should be run as user root, otherwise not all requested information can be accessed. supportinfo needs the current ES-Backup Server installation directory path as the first parameter and the current EtherShare installation directory path as the second parameter. supportinfo prints all information to stdout (terminal window). In order to send this information as an email you need to redirect the output to a file, compress this file and attach it to the email, e.g.: # cd /usr/local/bu/etc # ./supportinfo /usr/local/bu /usr/local/es > /tmp/attachment # compress /tmp/attachment If you want to send the attachment via a Macintosh email appliction you need to copy the compressed file to an EtherShare volume, e.g.: # /usr/local/es/dt cp /tmp/attachment.Z PATH_TO_ESVOLUME Please insert the output of supportinfo to all future problem reports regarding ES-Backup! instcronjob and delcronjob: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Both files are used by the ES-Backup Admin server during creation, modification and deletion of automatic backup schedules. They may not be called manually. - Fixed (Server): The ES-Backup Server did in some rare situations create an empty crontab file when automatic backups were created or modified. This problem is fixed. Installation ------------ Unstuff the file "up001.sea.hqx" on your Macintosh, e.g. by using StuffIt Expander. A folder up001 will be created. For updateing ES-Backup 2.0.3 on: Solaris 2.5.1 copy the file "up001:Software:Solaris:2_5_1:up001_sun4-sparc251.inst.tar.Z" Solaris 2.6 or 2.7 in 32-bit mode copy the file "up001:Software:Solaris:2_5_1:up001_sun4-sparc.inst.tar.Z" Solaris 2.7 in 64-bit mode copy the file "up001:Software:Solaris:2_5_1:up001_sun4-sparc64.inst.tar.Z" Linux copy the file "up001:Software:Linux:up001_linux-int.inst.tar.Z" to an EtherShare volume. As root user do the follwoing from the Unix console: (make sure no user is connected to the ES-Backup server, stop the ES-Backup server) # cd /usr/local/bu # ./stop-busrv # cd /tmp # uncompress -c ESVOLUME/up001_YYY.inst.tar.Z | tar xvf - (ESVOLUME is the path to your EtherShare volume) (YYY is the requested filename part of the update file) (The folder /tmp/ES-BACKUP-UP001 will be created) # cd /tmp/ES-BACKUP-UP001 (now call the update script with the path to your ES-Backup server's installation parent directory, e.g. /usr/local) # ./UP001.SH /usr/local (The update will be installed. Follow the installation instructions from the script, i.e. start the ES-Backup server) That's all. 18. May 2000 (c) 1998-2000 by UGS, Uwe Gohlke Software. All rights reserverd.
