A network support group recently purchased an 8mm drive and
the Backup Architect software from Workstation Solutions.
The intention was to set this up for unattended backups.
The problem I'm having is that when a backup fails - it
gets rescheduled at inconvenient times. I would prefer
a message telling me of the failed backup and retry the
backup myself. Is there any way to turn off the rescheduling
feature? Also, I find it annoying that a window pops up
on the node even when nobody is logged in. On more than
a few occasions, someone has iconized the window, and the
backup scheduled for the following day fails because the
window was never closed. I'd like to turn off this feature
as well so that I can have TRULY UNATTENDED backups. I would
like to just change tapes in the drive and have the rest be
automatic and transparent. A log file of failed backups
would be sufficient for my needs.
If anyone has info on how I can fix things, or if WS is monitoring
this news group, I can be reached at:
