Backup facilitates the process of using tape drives (Backup does not support diskettes) to create complete or partial backups (copies) of any drives on the system. If data loss occurs, Backup also automates the process of restoring the backed up information. It will only be available to users who have the appropriate level of access.
When Backup is started, Windows NT searches for and locates the tape drive connected to the system, then gives users the options of deciding which files to back up and when. The utility provides a Windows Explorer-type window that shows file locations and details.
As with Explorer, files can be viewed by file name, size, type, or modification date, making selective backups easier. Once files are selected, you can opt to perform file verification to ensure reliable backups and/or restorations. Backups can span multiple tapes, and they can be set to overwrite existing backups or create a new backup set. In addition, backups can be set to occur automatically at preselected intervals.
To initiate Backup: If an entire drive is to be backed up, click the box in front of the drive name. If only portions are to be backed up, double click the drive, and then select or deselect as desired. Click the Backup button in the upper-left corner of the utility's main screen, or select Backup under the Operations menu. The Backup Information dialog box will appear. Here you can view information on the tape that was loaded and the backup being created, and select whether a backup information log will be generated.
Inbox Repair Tool is an automated utility that requires very little user input. It checks the integrity of files in much the same way as off-the-shelf products such as Norton Utilities. As with Backup, it is a restricted activity and will not even appear on the accessories menu if the proper level of access has not been granted.When you open Inbox Repair Tool, you're presented with a window asking you which file you want to scan. The default setting is for personal folder files (file name extension .PST). Alternatively, you can browse and select any file in the system. Inbox Repair Tool will scan it for errors and repair them if you so indicate.
