NetWorker Fast Start prepackages the components to back up Windows and Linux-based environments, including up to five NetWorker Modules for applications such as Oracle, MS Exchange Server, and MS SQL Server, and up to 20 clients. It also allows customers to use disk (b2d), CentricStor, EMC Disk Library (EDL) or a tape jukebox as backup targets. The use of NetWorker clients on other platforms (e.g. Solaris) is possible for filesystem backups.

The NetWorker Fast Start software is delivered on the NetWorker Suite V7 DVD and is also distributed as a downloadable archive file from the Fujitsu Siemens Computers web site.

    gzip -d FSC_NetWorker_Fast_Start.74SP3.tar.gz
    tar -xvf     FSC_NetWorker_Fast_Start.74SP3.tar
Verification of the package signature (optional):

An external signature file is provided to give proof of the integrity of the downloaded or copied archive. The public key required for the verification of this signature is supplied on the DVD in the file products/FSC_NetWorker_Development_0A1F84B5_pub.asc. Alternatively the public key may be downloaded from the Fujitsu Siemens Computers web site www.fujitsu-siemens.com/networker.

The fingerprint of the key is:
0B22 D1C4 1742 DF2E A592 CD82 4FC6 B2DC 0A1F 84B5

You may verify the signature with any encryption software, which supports the OpenPGP standard (e.g. GnuPG). Refer to the documentation of your encryption software for details.

The rpm-packages included in the Fast Start archive are signed with the same key. During the Fast Start installation and configuration process this key is automatically imported into your RPM database. So later update or upgrade installations of single packages can take advantage of the rpm package verification methods.
