Technical notes

Standby, sleep, and hibernate states interfere with backups

Issues may occur when computers go into standby/sleep (ACPI state G1-S3), hibernate

(ACPI state G1-S4), or hybrid sleep (Windows Vista) modes during a backup.

Upon returning to a working state (ACPI state G0-S0), the network connection between the

client and the Avamar server may be lost and yet appear, from the server side, to still be

established. Canceling the backup from the client side has no effect.

To drop the backup connection, cancel the backup from the server side. This occurs

automatically when the connection is inactive for more than one hour.

To help minimize this problem, be sure the BIOS and drivers on all supported computers

are up-to-date.

Avamar Web Restore

The following technical notes apply to Avamar Web Restore.

Enabling the full display on the Avamar log in screen

Avamar Web Restore displays an empty Domain field and an empty Client field on the

Avamar log in screen to prevent the display of domain information during a non-domain

setting to enable the full display on this screen.

When the full display is enabled, a list of Avamar domains appears in the Domain field

and a list of clients appears in the Client field.

Note: This change does not affect the Avamar Web Restore LDAP log in screen.

To enable the full display on the Avamar log in screen:

1. Open a command shell and log in:

• For a single-node server, log in to the server as root.

• For a multi-node server, log in to the utility node as root.

2. Switch user to root by typing:

su -

3. Change the current working directory by typing:

cd /usr/local/avamar/etc

4. Open the Avamar Desktop/Laptop properties file, dtlt.properties, in a plain text editor.
