mcn3?@JBackup Menu&Total Backup@Total Backup copies all disk files and directories to tape.It offers the versatility of later restoring only selectedfiles or directories while providing a complete backup ofyour disk as insurance against disk failure.To execute a Total Backup, click on the Total button orpress from the Backup Menu.A Total Backup can be scheduled to run unattended. Refer tothe User's Guide or the Scheduler help text for furtherinformation.&Modified Files Backup@A Modified Files Backup copies all files changed since thelast backup to tape. Because unmodified files are not backedup, you must perform a Total Backup first before a ModifiedFiles Backup to insure that all files are backed up.This option saves time because it does not back up filesthat haven't changed. Combine Total backups and Modifiedbackups for the best tape backup protection.A Modified Files Backup makes efficient use of time andtape, but it requires more thoughtful management toinsure that all the data can be restored.To execute a Modified Files Only Backup, click on theModified button or key from the Backup Menu.A Modified Files Backup can be scheduled. Refer to theUser's Guide or the Scheduler help text for furtherinformation.ONLY BACKUPA Modified Files Only Backup is a quick way to backup filesmodified since the last Total Backup. However, the onlyfiles backed up are those which fall in the path of thelatest Total Backup. This path can be reset only byperforming another Total Backup and entering a new startingpath. Make a Total Backup at least once a week to avoid thenecessity of restoring a large number of tape volumes torecover your data.To execute a Modified Files Only Backup, press F3 fromthe Backup Menu and enter any information necessary inresponse to the software prompts.&Selective Backup@Selective Backup allows you to choose specific files ordirectories to be backed up. With this option it is simpleto transfer data to other sites or archive selected files forstorage.

If this does not correct the problem, refer toyour Hardware Installation manual.&Hardware Setups@This screen displays the configuration parameters in useby your tape drive. If you want to change any of thisinformation, you must run the Configuration program.&Changing Hardware Setups@#Running Config from DOS:@To change the hardware setups, run the Configuration programby typing CONFIG at the DOS prompt and pressing Enter.#Running Config from Windows:@Select the Config icon by double-clicking on it.&DMA Channel@The tape controller board must use a Direct MemoryAccess (DMA) Channel to communicate with your computerand to transfer data to and from the tape drive.If possible, select a DMA channel for the tape drive that noother device is using.#8086 or 8088-based computers@If you have an 8086 or 8088-based computer, DMA channel 3 isreserved for hard disk use and may not be selected for useby the tape drive.#80286 and 80386 computers@DMA channel 3 is open and may be used for the tape drive.In all of these types of computers DMA channel 2 is used bythe diskette drive(s). You may select DMA channel 2 for useby the tape drive without adversely affecting performanceexcept when backing up diskettes. In this case, the tapesoftware automatically switches to non-concurrent DMA modewhich prevents corruption of the data but does slow thecommunication process somewhat.#Network users@DMA channel 1 is used by some network systems. If you areusing a network, check with your network administrator formore information.&DMA Channel for Compression@In addition to the main DMA channel, the compressionsection of the TC-15 Jumperless Tape Controller With DataCompression must also use a DMA channel between 1 and 7for communication. You may not share a single DMA channelfor both setups.#80286 and 80386 computers@DMA channels 4 through 7 are available only on 80286 and80386-based computers. The use of these DMA channels isundefined in most computers, which means that any of thefour should work. Check your computer and peripheral devicemanuals for information on use of these DMA channels.#8086 and 8088 computers@If your computer is 8086 or 8088-based, you must chooseanother DMA channel for compression. You may use only DMAchannels 1 and 2. Do not use DMA channel 3 in these typesof computers!If your computer does not have two free DMA channels,you must select OFF when configuring the DMA Channelfor Compression. Be aware that doing so disables hardwaredata compression and further degrades the performanceof your tape controller. You can use software datacompression as explained in the User Guide.&Interrupt@The tape controller must use an Interrupt between 2and 7. The interrupt selected for the tape drive must notbe used by any other device in your computer.If an interrupt conflict does occur, the tape drive will notfunction. The manuals accompanying your computer and anyperipheral devices should provide interrupt usageinformation.&I/O Base Address in Hexadecimal@This setup indicates the starting I/O address whichthe tape controller uses to communicate with yourcomputer. The I/O address selected for the tape drive mustnot be used by any other device in your computer.If an I/O address conflict does occur, the tape drive willnot function. The manuals accompanying your computer and anyperipheral devices should provide I/O address usageinformation.#Note:@ I/O Start Address 370 is not valid for usewith tape controller boards with hardware data compression.Tape Controller Board MenuIdentify the type of tape controller board you haveinstalled in your computer.

This will be necessary only if a default sequencenumber interferes with another device that is daisy-chainedto your Trakker.There are 8 different sequence numbers, each made up of astring of bits. The default sequence number is 0. To changethe sequence number, simply choose another number. If thisfails to solve the problem, it may be necessary to connectthe Trakker to a different parallel port or to disconnectother devices sharing the same port.&Parallel Port Usage@There are three different types of parallel ports found inPCs:#Fast parallel port@The fast parallel port is the newest type port, offering thefastest data transfer. It is the only port that can operatein fast parallel port mode.#Bidirectional@The bi-directional port offers data transfer in bothdirections on the same lines.#Unidirectional@The unidirectional port is the original port found on PCs,and all three ports can run in unidirectional modes.The bi-directional port offers data transfer in bothdirections on the same lines, and both the fast paralleland the bidirectional port can run in any of the threebidirectional modes.The software will attempt to run in the most advantageousmode, depending on the port type it is connected to.If errors are encountered in backups or restores, you mayneed to change the port usage to a different setting.The table below shows all the usage modes.The choices you will have depend upon the type of parallelport Trakker is connected to. You will generally need toselect a lower number if errors occur during backup orrestore. 0 - Unidirectional, Full Handshake, 500Kb, Full Delay 1 - Unidirectional, Full Handshake, 500Kb, Optimize Delays 2 - Unidirectional, Full Handshake, 1Mb, Optimize Delays 3 - Unidirectional, Self Latch, 1Mb, Optimize Delays 4 - Bidirectional, Full Handshake, 500Kb, Optimize Delays 5 - Bidirectional, Full Handshake, 1Mb, Optimize Delays 6 - Bidirectional, Self Latch, 1Mb, Optimize Delays&Parallel Port Data@This screen displays the type of each of the parallel portsin your PC. There can be a maximum of three parallel ports.The three types of parallel ports in decreasing order ofdata throughput are:Fast parallel portBidirectional parallel portUnidirectional parallel portYou will usually obtain the best performance by connectingyour Trakker to the fastest port.The install and configure programs are designed to runregardless of whether or not the Trakker is connected toyour system. This affords the most flexibility wheninstalling and/or configuring your system software. Forinformation about what port your Trakker is connected to,run the program "tape.exe".You can review the current settings by selecting HardwareSetups from the Utilities Pull-down menu.&Advanced Options@The advanced options are used only when necessary to makechanges to the way the tape software communicates with theTrakker. The options should rarely be needed, and areprovided only for completeness. You must have alreadyconnected your Trakker and have run the "tape.exe" programprior to making any changes. If you subsequently connect theTrakker to a different port, you must similarly run"tape.exe" prior to making any advanced options changes.To perform advanced options, select this option. If you donot want to perform advanced options, simply press enter tocontinue.&Advanced Options@In order to make changes to the wakeup sequence number and /or the parallel port usage, you must first run the tapeprogram "tape.exe".Trakker must be connected, in order for the software to placeinformation about the connection in a system file.&Quick Reference@With this option you can hide and/or display the QuickReference text.
