System Imaging Software
Aurora systems use Acronis imaging software, version 3647, which allows you to
back up your system. When the system boots using Acronis Imaging software, select
either Safe Version, Full Version, or boot into Windows.
Safe version should normally be used to restore or create the C:\ partition from the
backup partition, drive F:\.
Full version loads additional USB drivers, which allows a user to backup or restore
with a USB drive. However, the boot process hangs unless the following parameters
are entered prior to selecting Full Version:
1. Press
F11
.
2. Change the boot parameters from quiet to quiet acpi=off noapic.
3. Click
OK
.
4. Select the
Full Version to load True Image
.
NOTE: Acronis imaging software recognizes Rev Pro drives.
Database Backup
Several command-line utilities are available for maintenance of the News database
that is used by Aurora Edit. These utilities automatically install on DNP machines that
host shared or embedded instances of the News database.
The utilities can be found in the
\DB Maintenance\
subdirectory for the respective
Aurora Product under the
C:\Program Files\Grass Valley\Aurora
directory. They
must be run from the
\DB Maintenance\
subdirectory of the machine whose database
is being operated upon. The user must be a member of the system's Administrators
group. For a local, stand-alone machine, run the utilities at that workstation. For the
central News database of a shared storage system (NewsShare), run the utilities at the
DSM.
For more information about the command-line utilities, refer to the
NewsDatabaseUtilities.htm
document. This document is included in the
DB
Maintenance
subdirectory.
