Can you briefly
explain the idea of how the Online Backup
Software works? |
|
| |
|
|
|
RestoreRex™ is
a client application with essential file
backup functionalities and an intuitive
user-interface targeting for simple end-users.
It allows users to upload selected files
to the
Backup server and runs scheduled backup
jobs. |

What is the recommended
bandwidth? |
|
| |
|
|
|
It really depends
on what kind of data to be backed up, e.g.
for personal file backups, the
daily data transfer should be limited, while
MS Exchange backup could be significant.

The Windows version
of OBM installer hangs, what could be the
problem? |
|
| |
|
|
|
There are few
things that could create errors during or
after executing the installer (this is Windows,
after all). |
|
| |
|
|
|
1. |
|
Make sure there is enough
disk space on the machine. |
|
| |
|
|
|
2. |
|
Make sure you do not have
any anti virus software or PCanywhere running,
as this
may create problems with InstallAnywhere
installers. |
|
| |
|
|
|
3. |
|
There are also problems with
InstallAnywhere installers and Dell OpenManager.
If
OpenManager has installed on the target
system, be sure to disable it before
installing OBM. |
|
| |
|
|
|
4. |
|
Hardware could cause errors
as well, try set your [hardware acceleration
display
setting] to off. There are problems with
certain versions of Java running along with
certain video cards. |
|
| |
|
|
|
5. |
|
This may only be a Java problem. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Also, if you are
transferring this file from one machine
to another, please be sure the file size
is valid and you are transferring the file
in binary mode. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Java Testing |
|
| |
|
|
|
Please try running
any of the Swing demos that came with the
Java runtime in 1.4.X and see
if it hangs on Windows. In order to fix
this problem, some knowledge base on the
Internet
suggested updating DirectX to at least DirectX
8.1. Most machines got this problem had
DirectX 7.0 installed. (You can use the
“dxdiag” command to find out the directX
version) |
|
| |
|
|
|
SUN recommended
two workarounds for certain video card issues |
|
| |
|
|
|
1. |
|
The following will pass properties
to the installer's Virtual Machine:
In Advanced Designer – Project -> Config
-> Additional Arguments
set that to "-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false
-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true" without
the
quotes. |
|
| |
|
|
|
2. |
|
Set the following lax property
in your LaunchAnywhere for your application's
JVM:
lax.nl.java.option.additional=-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false
-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Add the same line to the uninstaller
lax file, using a modify file action in
your installer
in post-install. |
