Irisbackup Utility - Matrox Iris GT Installation And Technical Reference

I r i s B a c k u p u t i l i t y
The IrisBackup utility captures the state of your Matrox Iris GT and saves it as a
set of files to a network-shared folder. The resulting set of files can be restored to
the smart camera using the FullRescue utility, described later in this appendix.
Note that the IrisBackup utility backs up all files on all disks of your Matrox
Iris GT, packing them into a series of files.
The backup creates a folder named MatroxIrisBackup. If a folder with this name
already exists, the utility prompts for permission to overwrite its contents. You can
rename the folder, but do not change any of the files contained within the folder.
Before running this utility, you must stop any project running on your Matrox
Iris GT.

If you enter the command and all its parameters at the command line, you must
enclose any string containing spaces in quotations. If, however, you enter only the
name of the utility, you will be prompted to enter each parameter in turn without
quotations.
When a required parameter (such as the domain name) is not specified, the
❖
utility will prompt you for the missing information.
• Comment. A brief comment to describe the contents of the backup or the reason
for the backup.
• SharedFolder. Specifies the location to save the backup files. This location must
be a network-shared folder and be accessible by the user, specified by the
UserName parameter of this utility. The location specified must be entered in the
following format:
\\server\share
• Domain. If your computer is on a domain, enter the domain name. If your
computer is not on a domain, this parameter is ignored.
