A little help with
searching of problems will please.
NetBackup.lite
is a relatively simple application, but, as in case of every program, even here it is applied,
that nothing can be programmed without faults. Here we have prepared for you the most frequently
asked questions and procedures when introducing the application in your network.
Don’t you know what to do?
These answers will help you as the first step.
Other questions can be found on the website of the product: http://www.netbackuplite.com.
If you don’t find the question concerning your problem even there, contact our
technical assistance on support@netbackuplite.com.
Shall I rather backup or synchronize?
It depends on your priorities. If you choose backing up,
after some time you will have a lot of files accumulated in your target folder,
which files are not actual any longer. But they take up space and make it more difficult to orientate in
the backup. Synchronization will facilitate this, but on the other hand it brings certain
risk. For example when you delete a file and realize that you need it
only after performing backups. If you don’t have the data on a tape, you will not restore the file any more.
On which computer can I run NetBackup.lite?
You will need one of the Microsoft Windows
operating systems with Internet Explorer version 4.0 and higher
installed. To be able to work in a network you will need a functional
network, for example Novell NetWare or Microsoft network, regardless of
whether peer to peer or with a domain.
How can I perform a backup on a disk on which the local user does not
have rights for writing and thus it would be necessary to carry out
authentication, then a backup and subsequently a disconnection?
NetBackup.lite
does not support this backup. Possible solution is, that a backup will
be launched through a batch file (.bat) and the disk on which data will
be backed up will be connected by means of the "net use" command before
the backup itself. For example "net use Z: \\racek\backup\ user
password". You will disconnect the disk after the backup.
How to resolve failures of the application, if the backup is launched
upon the user's login in the computer and an antivirus program is
launched simultaneously? The application shall perform an invalid
operation.
Under the systems of Windows 9x family there is a problem with
resources during the login on the station. The system may take too much
resources from the application necessary for thread continuity and the
application will therefore cancel the thread. This will manifest as
application failure. This problem can be easily resolved by delaying
the backup start for example by 20 seconds. Setting of this parameters
can be found in the guide for "Creating a new logon script" in the
"Administrator" tool.
