4.0 System Maintenance
To provide the best long-term operating conditions for the Doors software, there are two system
maintenance steps that should be performed.
• secure storage of the Doors program CD-ROM
• periodic backup of the Doors software
4.1 Secure Storage of Program CD-ROM
The original Doors installation CD-ROM should be stored in a safe, secure place away from
environmental extremes. Safe, secure storage is not just for the sake of software reinstallation should
there be a host computer system crash, but to keep the software out of the hands of unauthorized
personnel.
Using the installation CD-ROM, it is possible for an unauthorized person to reinstall the Doors software
and use the default passwords to modify the system operator database. This can result in the creation of
an operator or user that will have unlimited access to the secured area, violating the integrity of the
access control system.
4.2 Periodic Software Backup
The Doors access control software and its databases should be backed-up periodically. The more often
the system is backed-up, the less data reconstruction will need to be done in the event of a host
computer system crash. Beginning with Doors v4.30 a backup tool (Abakt) has been built into the
Doors program.
The backup tool is automatically installed with Doors and may be launched 3 different ways.
• From within Doors using the drop-down menu
• From within Doors using the button
• Independent of the Doors program
