I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore Version 3.0 - Network and local peripherals 2 The I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore CD. The I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore CD makes maintaining a current backup of your 70 Series Workstations easy. The reason for making it was mainly the frustration with the time consuming standard NT backup and restore procedure for the Foxboro 70 Series product.
I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore Version 3.0 - Network and local peripherals issue. To start with the backup, some additional hardware and software may be needed. We have put together some examples to help you on the way. These examples list all the soft- and hardware you will need to get the first station ready for the backup task. The options you have are: Backup to a tape, Backup to removable media, Backup to CD-R(W), Create a clone of the system disk or Backup to a server on the network. 2.2.
I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore Version 3.0 - Network and local peripherals • • The I/A 70 Series 360 and 370’s feature a DVD+/-RW drive. Most modern systems feature USB 2.0 ports The disadvantages: • The backup must be restored before the system can be taken into operation. • May require an additional burning device to be installed in the station. • Needs another PC to view the Ghost files (optional). 2.2.3 Backup to removable media.
I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore Version 3.0 - Network and local peripherals • A server on the network that shares “backup space”. The advantages: • The Ghost images can be viewed on another system that has Ghost Explorer installed, this way files can be retrieved individually. • Very low cost solution apart from the initial server hardware. • Very fast. • No hardware changes required on the system unless you want a dedicated network interface for the backup jobs.
I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore Version 3.0 - Network and local peripherals 3 Hardware setup. When a SCSI based backup peripheral is going to be used a SCSI host adapter is required in the system. Depending on the style of the 70 Series station, you may have to install one. ATAPI peripherals may require some internal IDE channel modifications. 3.1 I/A 70 Series style “A” stations. The I/A 70 Series style “A” stations are IDE/Atapi based.

The Jaz Traveler is the name for the Parallel port connection for the Jaz drive.
I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore Version 3.0 - Network and local peripherals 9.6 The CD is using the wrong drive for images. In standard Foxboro configurations this should not happen, but when it does… In the specific case where your system has more than one removable drive, let’s say both a SCSI ZIP and SCSI Jaz drive you can encounter this problem. This is because the CD uses the highest available drive-letter it finds.
I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore Version 3.0 - Network and local peripherals shutdown the system: NTFS Error: NTFS Logfile has not been flushed (f1=1) Restart Windows then try again. After this message you can still continue to make the backup. Ghost will suggest doing a sector copy. I would suggest NOT to do this unless in an emergency. Instead take the advice to restart NT and, after booting the system, shutdown properly and try again. This will probably be much faster than doing a sector copy anyway.
