screen for configuration information will not be hidden.
To run SBCON, the host server requires the following:
A minimum of 3 MB free memory for SBCON
Memory required to run NetWare 6 (currently 256 MB RAM)
Memory required to run the clients
If 3 MB of memory is not available, try setting the storage buffers lower than
the default and still run SBCON.
Each backup session produces three types of files:
Data files are copied to the selected storage media.
Log files are produced by the engine during backup and restore. Log files
are placed in a directory on the host server and accessed through the
SBCON Main Menu or from a Windows* 95, 98, 2000 or Windows NT*
workstation using NWBACK32.
Error files are produced by the engine while backing up. Error files are
placed in a directory on the host server and accessed through the SBCON
Main Menu or from a Windows 95, 98, 2000 or Windows NT workstation
using NWBACK32.
Both log and error files contain information such as the date, time, and
media identification for a session. But the error file also contains a list of
any errors that occurred during the backup session, such as files that were
not backed up (see
on these files). The log and error files are labeled with the same
description you give the session.
