Tips and tricks
No interference during backup- or archiving activities
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATION:
Never switch off the computer or interfere in any other way with a running backup- or archiving process!
Even though NIRWare is using integrated safety measures (e.g. transactions) to prevent data loss, it is
important to not disturb any sensitive system processes.
‘Speaking names’ for database and archive labels
The label of an object should carry helpful information, especially concerning location and timeframe.
‘Archive2’ for example is not giving any indication about where and when the data therein have been
created, while ‘NIRArchive Aug2008-Jun2009 Flawil plant’ is telling much more of a story.
Snap-Ins
By accessing the archive functions of the Management Console, the tree-menu is reduced to the
Administrative Tools. The other menu items (‘snap-ins’) must be manually restored after finishing with the
archiving tool. This is done via Console
– Snap Ins, and adding the entries from the ‘Available Snap-Ins’-
to the ‘Selected Snap-Ins’-list.
Data Storage
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATION:
Please regard archives as your ‘treasure chests’, because they contain your precious data. Therefore
make sure the archives are stored away in a safe place (e.g. on streamer backup-tapes in a fireproof
safe).
