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.

This solution will in most cases provide a very convenient way to maintain backups which can be

archived to the network, CD-ROM or DVD. The backups created this way are “images” that are

basically large files that contain the backup data. The approach is very similar to backup to CD-R(W)

but the media differs. Requires other drivers and that is why it is mentioned here separately.

What do you need if?

• The I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore CD this includes the license for one station.

• A SCSI host adapter (optional for SCSI peripherals only).

• A Removable ATAPI backup device or SCSI backup device with cable.

• Media for the drive of your choice.

The advantages:

• The Ghost images can be viewed on another system that has Ghost Explorer installed, this way

files can be retrieved individually.

• Can be very low cost if the images are archived on CD-R or CD-RW media. The more expensive

removable medium can be re-used.

The disadvantages:

• The backup must be restored before the system can be taken into operation.

• Archiving the images to for example CD-R takes extra time although the production system does

not suffer from this.

• An additional SCSI card may be needed to support the removable disk drive.

• Needs another PC to view the Ghost files (optional).

2.2.4 Backup to a network share.

This option (which is new for version 3.0) allows you to create a backup to a shared drive on the

network. (like a share on Windows XP). Most network interfaces found in I/A Series systems are

supported. In addition to this we have added supported for the Realtek 8139 based network

interfaces. These are very common and are well supported. All I/A 70 Series platforms feature at

least one PCI slot to accommodate this interface.

What will you need?

• The I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore CD this includes the license for one station.

• A supported network interface.
