<p class="h1-center">Application vs. service</p>
<p class="normal">A <b>service</b> is a special windows application
that runs even if no user is logged on the system. The <b>service</b>
can run under a special account (<b>LocalSystem</b> account) or
under other existing account. On Windows NT, 2000 ,XP or 2003 is
recommended to run this program as a service. <b>You choose if you
want to run the program as a service or as an application in the
installation program.</b> You can also change the way the program
will work from the <b><a href="options_en.htm">Options</a></b>
dialog box.</p>
<p class="normal">When running<b> Cobian Backup 8</b> as a <b>service</b>,
a problem can arise: <font color="#FF00FF"><b>if you want to access
a shared drive or folder or some non-local resource, you cannot run
the service under the default system account.</b></font>
<font color="#FF00FF"><b>You must run it under an account which has
network access</b></font> (example: the Administrator account). In
the installation program, you can choose to configure the service to
run under the system or other account. </p>
<p class="normal">Another difference is that <b>you cannot terminate
a service </b>the same way you close an application. You stop/start
a service using the Control Panel - Administrative tools - Services
icon. You can also control the service from the <b>
<a href="options_en.htm">Options</a></b> dialog box.</p>
