LANtastic Network Operating System Version 4 Compatibility Bulletin
Product Reviewed: Colorado Memory Systems Jumbo 120, 250 and QFA 700
tape drives with TAPE software version 2.50
Classification: Tape backup drives and software
Date: 6/19/92
Engineer: JAG
********************
Compatibility Statement
The Colorado Memory Systems (CMS) Jumbo 120, Jumbo 250 and QFA 700
internal tape backup drives and the accompanying TAPE software, version 2.50
are compatible with LANtastic 4.xx.
Product Overview
The CMS drives and software provide easy to use backup services that can run
over LANtastic networks.
Product Installation Notes
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for hardware and software
installation. The manuals are detailed and easy to read and the menu driven
program interface is intuitive.
Product Execution Notes
The Tape software included with the CMS drives allows you to back up any
physical or logical disk drive that is connected to the PC where the tape drive
is located. Therefore, to back up a disk drive across the network to the tape
drive, the remote machine must be running the LANtastic SERVER program. To
back up the remote PC's disk, you will have to redirect (NET USE) a logical
drive to that server and then execute the backup specifying that logical drive
as the source. If you use the command line interfaces for the Tape software
and the LANtastic NET program, you can automate the backup process by creating
a batch file. For example, the following batch file could be used to backup a
local C: drive and drives on a remote server called SERVER1:
TAPE BACKUP C:\*.* /S/T="Backup of MYMACHINE"
NET USE F: \\SERVER1\C-DRIVE
TAPE BACKUP F:\*.* /S/T="Backup of SERVER1"
NET UNUSE F:
You can also use the automatic backup mode for scheduling backups or backup
sets. If the automatic mode is chosen during installation, the installation
routine correctly places loading of the CMS AUTOBACK program at the beginning
of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If this feature is added manually after installation,
make sure that AUTOBACK is loaded before starting LANtastic or system crashes
may result. See the "Automatic Mode" section of Chapter 2 of the "Software
Installation and Operation Guide" for more information on the installation and
use of AUTOBACK.
Also, automatic backups will not begin if the LANtastic stand alone server
program ALONE is running on the system where the tape unit is installed.
