NEC AUTO BACKUP UTILITY
The NEC Auto Backup utility is a data management and backup program that operates in
conjunction with LANDesk’s DMI and the Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting
Technology (S.M.A.R.T) Hard Drive instrumentation. If the S.M.A.R.T. drive identifies a
potential problem, the NEC Auto Backup utility automatically invokes the Cheyenne
Backup program and backs up the entire file system to a user-selected backup device, such
as a Zip drive, network drive, or tape.
NEC Auto Backup can also do regularly-scheduled backups and scan files for viruses
during a backup operation.
NOTE:
For the NEC Auto Backup utility to
work, Cheyenne Backup must be preconfigured.
See the NEC Auto Backup utility “Read Me” file
for information about Cheyenne Backup.
The NEC Auto Backup utility is available on the NEC Select Install CD. See “NEC Select
Install CD” for instructions on installing the NEC Auto Backup utility on the NetPC hard
disk.
NEC SELECT INSTALL CD
The system comes with an NEC Select Install compact disc (CD). This disc contains all the
system software files. Use the NEC Select Install CD to download the operating system and
application software from a hardware/software service platform, such as LANDesk
Configuration Manager (LCM). Should a problem occur that causes data loss or corruption,
you can restore the system files using the NEC Select Install CD.
The Select Install CD installs all or part of the computer’s software in two phases:
operating system (OS) restore program
selective application restore program.
The OS restore phase allows you to install Windows 95 or Windows NT from the LCM
CD-ROM reader. If you need to do a full restore, start with phase one.
Phase two, the Selective Application Restore program, takes place while the OS is running
and lets you choose the application software you want to install. Use phase two for
installing selected applications from the LCM CD-ROM reader at any time.
Both the OS and application phases use easy-to-understand dialog boxes and screen
messages so you can smoothly proceed through the installation process.
The following sections explain how to use the NEC Select Install CD with LCM.
