<h2 class="style2">Application vs. service</h2>
<p>A service is a special windows application that runs even if no
user is logged on the system. The service can run under a special
account (LocalSystem account) or under some other existing account.
On Windows NT, 2000 ,XP , 2003 or Vista is recommended to run this
program as a service. You decide if you want to run the program as a
service or as an application in the installation program. You can
also change the way the program will work from the <a href="options_en.htm">
Options</a> dialog box.</p>
<p>When running Cobian Backup 9 as a service, a problem can arise:
<span class="style1">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.</span> <span class="style1">You must run it
under an account which has network access</span> (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>Another difference is that you cannot terminate a service 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
<a href="options_en.htm">Options</a> dialog box.</p>
