About backing up NetWare servers

The first time you access the NetWare servers for backup, you may be prompted for a username and password. The usernames and passwords you enter to gain initial access to remote servers and workstations are kept in a password database. This database prevents you from having to type usernames and passwords each time you need to access remote devices. It also allows Backup Exec to log on to servers and attach to agent workstations for unattended jobs.
