Now you can run Setup and other programs, monitor Amanda’s opera-
tion, and so forth.
Connecting a Remote Computer
You can control Amanda from a remote computer by doing all of the
following:
•
Connecting the two computer with either a null modem cable or by
means of modems (and, of course telephone lines).
•
Running a Host program (either HOST.COM or HOST30.COM) on
Amanda’s computer.
•
Running a Remote program (either REMOTE.COM or WIN-
REM.EXE) on the remote computer.
For more details, see “Setting Up the Remote Computer” on page 74.
Using a UPS
The Amanda Company strongly recommends the installation of an
uninterrupted power supply (UPS) with every Amanda system. It provides
clean power to Amanda and keeps the probability of a computer lockup (and
the resulting loss of data or even loss of the system) as low as possible.
According to some reports, power problems are the primary reason why
computers lose data (45.3%). The next closest cause is storm damage at
9.4%. (Human error and sabotage rank eighth with 3.2%.)
According to a Bell Laboratories study entitled “The Quality of US
Commercial AC Power,” the main categories of AC power irregularities
across the nation are sags (or brownouts), power surges, blackouts, and
overvoltages. The best solution is a UPS, which can handle 99.3% of these
power problems.
A UPS is a special type of AC power line conditioner. When compared to
the other devices available, such as surge suppressors, filters, isolation
transformers, tap changing regulators, and voltage regulating transformers,
the UPS is rated highest by Bell Laboratories and is relatively inexpensive.
