I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore

Version 3.0 - Network and local peripherals

7 Quick start.

This is the quick-start section providing step by step procedures to perform the different backup

and restore tasks. I assume you know how to make the backup device available to the system.

7.1 Backing up an I/A 70 Series workstation.

The I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore CD supports several ways to create a backup. Amongst these

are: backup to an internal or external SCSI tape drive in the 70 Series stations, backing up to a local

removable medium or backup over a network connection. All methods are presented here.

This Quick start section assumes you are booting from CD-ROM.

Note:

To make a valid backup for an NT or XP machine, a properly shutdown system is a requirement.

Do not power down or reset the system when it is running NT/XP with or without IA Series. You

will run the risk of corrupting valuable process data and you will not be able to make a valid

backup.

7.1.1 Backup to tape.

The steps to create a backup on tape:

1. Identify the tape drive (only SCSI tape drives are supported).

2. Check the hard disk using the standard Windows tools.

3. Properly shutdown the system to allow the file system to be cleanly unmounted.

4. Attach the tape drive if it is external.

5. Insert the I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore CD in the CD-ROM drive and boot the station from

CD-ROM.

6. Choose the first menu option: 5. Internal IDE/ATAPI and SCSI hardware only. and allow the

station to finish booting. In the Main menu choose: [A] The Backup menu. And next choose:

[A] Backup to SCSI tape. (If you get the “Timeout” dialog during this step, press “wait”. Ghost

appears to be a little impatient with tape drives)

7. The backup will start and after a successful backup you are prompted to verify the image on

tape.

8. After verification you are returned to the main menu.

9. Remove the tape from the drive. Label the backup tape and store it in a safe place.

10. Disconnect the tape drive if applicable.

11. Remove the I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore CD from the drive.

12. Reboot the station.

7.1.2 Backup to removable medium.

The steps to create a backup to a MO or Jaz disk are:

1. Identify the backup drive drive and make it available to the system.

2. Check the hard disk using the standard Windows tools.
