Assistance with Your Server
This chapter contains answers to several frequently asked questions. For more
troubleshooting tips, visit the Snap Server Web site at
http://www.snapserver.com/support.
Question:
Can I use standard UNIX file
security on my Snap Server?
Can I use a third-party utility to
defragment Snap Server hard
disks?
How can I back up a Snap
Server?
How can I back up my system
settings?
How do I grant complete
access to a few users on my
network, but not others?
Answer:
Yes. GuardianOS supports standard UNIX-type file
security. However, you should configure SnapTrees in
order to get proper support. For information about
configuring SnapTrees, see the SnapTrees and Security
Models topic under Share and File Access in the
GuardianOS online Help or the Administrator Guide on
your User CD.
No. Snap Servers use XFS, which is highly efficient in
preventing file fragmentation when hard disks are not
filled to greater than 90% of their capacity.
The Snap Server can be backed up over the network from
a workstation or remote server with a backup device such
as a tape drive or hard drive connected to the workstation
or remote server. For information on the currently
supported backup applications, see the Third Party
Backup Applications topic in the GuardianOS online Help.
In addition to backing up the data stored on the Snap
Server, you may also back up its system and volume
settings. The Maintenance > Disaster Recovery screen
allows you to create the files you need to restore these
settings
The simplest way is to use the browser-based security
setup screen to enter the user names of the people you
want to allow access to the Snap Server. Then either
remove or password-protect the GUEST user account.
Users defined in the Snap Server's security automatically
become members of the EVERYONE group, which is
granted complete access to all shares in the default
configuration. By disabling or password protecting the
GUEST account, you prevent connection by any user not
defined to the Snap Server's security. See "Accessing the
Snap Server with GUEST Privileges" on page 41.
