Note: Administrators must use EBR to either manually back up or recover workstation data or to perform directed recovers of one workstation's backup data to a different workstation, because the EBR Administrator does not contain commands for manual backup or recover. EBR does not support manual backup of VINES servers. All server backups must be scheduled using EBR Administrator and carried out under the control of the EBR service.

Note: Administrators should be advised that workstation manual backup, recover, and archive tasks are in a separate program. For detailed information, refer to the VINES EBR User's Guide.
