LANtastic Network Operating System Version 4 Compatibility Bulletin Product Reviewed: Colorado Memory Systems Jumbo 120, 250 and QFA 700 tape drives with TAPE software version 2.49 Classification: Tape backup drives and software Date: 6/19/92 Engineer: JAG Compatibility Statement: The Colorado Memeory Systems (CMS) Jumbo 120, Jumbo 250 and QFA 700 internal tape backup drives and the accompanying TAPE software, version 2.49, are compatible with LANtastic 4.xx. Product Overview: The CMS drives and software provide easy to use backup services that can run over LANtastic networks. Product Installation Notes: Follow the manufacturer's recommentations for hardware and software installation. The manuals are detailed and easy to read and the menu driven program interface is intuitive. Product Execution Notes: The Tape software included with the CMS drives allows you to back up any physical or logical disk drive that is connected to the PC where the tape drive is located. Therefore, to back up a disk drive across the network to the tape drive, the remote machine must be running the LANtastic SERVER program. To back up the remote PC's disk, you will have to redirect (NET USE) a logical drive to that server and then execute the backup specifying that logical drive as the source. If you use the command line interfaces for the Tape software and the LANtastic NET program, you can automate the backup process by creating a batch file. For example, the following batch file could be used to backup a local C: drive and drives on a remote server called SERVER1: TAPE BACKUP C:\*.* /S/T="Backup of MYMACHINE" NET USE F: \\SERVER1\C-DRIVE TAPE BACKUP F:\*.* /S/T="Backup of SERVER1" NET UNUSE F: You can also use the automatic backup mode for scheduling backups or backup sets. See the "Automatic Mode" section of Chapter 2 of the "Software Installation and Operation Guide" for more information on this topic.
