"Do
you speak English?"
How
many languages you know .. oh yes. NetBackup.lite knows enough of them .. and do you want to teach it additional ones?
Why not, you can.
In the file "Language.ini" there are all information about the language; if you think, that you unconditionally need to have the program translated in a language we don't support, then this is the right file. By the way, we'd be glad, if you provided this file to us and we could publish it on our pages also for the others. But that is not all, which this file includes.
It includes also this part:
; -- SECURITY INFORMATION -- Don't translate this line, please. --
SHUTDOWN=ALLOW
NOT_SECURE=ALLOW
CLOSE_ERRORS_DIALOG=0
SECURE_ALLOW=
SECURE_DENY=
SCRIPTS_EXTENSIONS=script
SCRIPTS_PATH=
RUNTIME_PATH=
BACKUP_COUNTER=
BACKUP_FLAG_FILE=
BACKUP_FLAG_STOP=TRUE
BACKUP_FLAG_CREATE_ALL=FALSE
Do not change this part when translating the text, otherwise the NetBackup.lite application may not function properly. This part is for security settings, which you can, of course, edit manualy, but you better use our wizard, which you can find under the third button in the Administrator.
Create a new security
policy...
What is it? It is a new
file "Language.ini", which takes over all language settings from the
old one, but you will enter new security settings. So as the first step you will select
the old file and then the new one (it must not have the same name in the same
folder).
Done? Excellent, here is
the next
step. The first item is called "Can users ask NetBackup.Lite to switch
off the computer after the backup is finished?" This will enable the
users, if they start the
backup from the "Script Runner", to tick the option "Switch off the
computer after the backup is finished". The default settings is "on".
The second
option "Can user from workstation not specified in the list run
backup?",
will allow or deny backing up from the workstation which you don't
state in
the list of "allowed workstations" in the next step. Again, the default
setting
of this option is "on".
In case of occurrence of errors during the backup, NetBackup displays a message
window after the backup. This window is defaultly set in such a way, that after 30 seconds it disappears and
the application is ended. Here you can turn the function off or set it for some other time.
The next step allows you to allow or deny users on specified workstations to run backup. A simple rule shall
apply here: anything which is denied and concurrently permitted, is denied.
Set all stations according to their network names.
Well, we'll go on. Now,
the wizard needs to know the extension of scripts to be able to find
them and list them in next step. It also needs to know the path to the
backup runtime, because it happens, that on some types of networks do e.g. Windows 95 not provide the correct
working directory for the application and a problem may arise.
Now we will set the security itself
for every script separetely. Choose a script and write names of the computers
on which it may or must not be used. Divide individual names by semi-colons. In this case it shall apply again, that
what is denied is denied, even if it is concurrently allowed. You can also set for each
script, whether a PC switch-off should be preset in the "Backup starter"
And the last step .. where do you want to store the sum of
all backed-up data? This file serves for saving a sum of copied
data and folders.
Here it is necessary to briefly describe, what the flag file serves for. NetBackup.lite will allow you to transfer the data from the workstation to the server. However, you need to get the data e.g. on a tape from time to time. The flag file may help you to determine, whether the backup was carried out without any problems and the data on the server are correct or not. After the backup finish NetBackup may then create a flag file in a given place and the third-party backup program or your script may check the backup state by means of it.
There are three flag
files:
nb_ok.flag
- the backup proceeded correctly
nb_error_user.flag
- the backup was interrupted by the user
nb_error_file.flag
- the backup was not completed correctly because of any error
If you allow creation of a flag file, Script Runner seeks these three files in the given path at the beginning of the backup. If the option "If a flag file already exists, do not backup" is checked and the program finds the file nb_ok.flag, the application will not backup. If this file does not exist or this option is not set, all flag files are removed and the backup proceeds.
After correct proceeding of backups the file nb_ok.flag is created. The last option determines, whether flag files should be created also in the case, that the backup was not correctly completed.
Done!
And how does it
function now?
The file "Nový.ini" was created,
by which we'll replace the file "Language.ini". In our case
all computers in the network will be able to run all scripts by means
of the "Script Runner". This option, however, will not be available for the
"AlbertPC" computer. Finally it will not be possible to run the script
"Vsichni.script" on the "LukasPC" computer.
Be careful! All settings concerning security refer only to starting backups by means of the "Script Runner"; the user can still run the script from command line.
And it is already completed and it is already [done].
