Configuring Continuous Protection

Enter the server information as appropriate.

Note If you will be using a Virtual Appliance as a conversion target, you will need to

complete the VA Config dialogue.

Click Save and Install to save your server configuration.

Step 2: Create Setup Folders

To convert a Windows system, vConverter requires access to certain files from the

Windows installation. In most cases, you will find these files in one of these locations:

• "%windir%\Driver Cache

• "%windir%\ServicePackFiles

Occasionally, an administrator will have to remove the files from these locations

manually or programmatically by running the SFC /PURGECACHE command. If this

has happened to a source server, vConverter will display a message stating that

“Required files for this server . . . are missing . . .”.

When system files required for conversion are not found in the system being converted,

those files and service pack source files must be extracted and made available in the

setup file location.

Note Only .exe files should be unpacked. There is no need to unpack .cab files

From the Program Preferences dialogue, click the General tab.

In the Setup Folders section, click Add.

Under the Operating System, Architecture, and SP column, select the

appropriate values.

In the Location for OS Setup files column, insert the %windir%\Driver Cache

path for a server accessible from the workstation where vConverter is running

(e.g., \\server\c$\windows\Driver Cache\i386).

Extract the files to a central location, and enter that location.
