Creating A Diagnostic File; Using Intel ® Client Backup And Recovery; Using The Recovery Cd - Intel SS4000-E - Entry Storage System NAS Server User Manual

Creating a Diagnostic File

In some cases, you might need assistance from Technical Support to solve problems that
you might have with Client Backup and Recovery. When you contact the Technical
Support team, they might ask you to create a diagnostic file to help them better understand
your environment and configuration settings.
You can create a diagnostic file using either the Intel
application or, in the event of a system failure, using the recovery CD. To create a
diagnostic file using the recovery CD, the computer must have a floppy disk drive or a
directly connected USB disk.
Note: This diagnostic file does not include the log files associated with the Intelligent
Management Agent (IMA). You might be asked to send those files (iscmlib.log and
iscmservice.log) separately.
