    4.0 Domain and Networking

    JL; There is nothing wrong with you running a domain. As others have mentioned you do not need to have one - but for some security a domain is not a bad idea, and it gives you a basic exposure to NT domains, tools and such. Your clients will be OK - except for the XP Home - which can only be...

    Backup sticking at 99% and then unable to initialize database

    I noticed this problem on our backup box a couple of weeks ago. Solution was to chek the permissions to make sure that the SYSTEM permission (in WInNT) had access to the ARCServe share. For some reason (I think another operator reset permissions, though no-one will admit to it) these had...

    Would you recommend Arcserve?

    I have had the devils own time making ARCServe work correctly. First the software is very poorly documented, unless you want to make a career move to being a help file reader. Having said that however, once I did get it to run, everything went like a charm. Until the log file, ate my entire...

    Database compression

    Hi Bazcurtis; The only way to pare down the ARCSERVE folder is to look at the log file called tape.log. This is usually the offending file. I have seen no tech note or anything on CA's site that tells me how to keep that sucker under 1 meg in size yet. However, there is a work around that I...

    copy protect images?

    Hi qotyebw My advice is to use it anyway, and make it a part of the sites usage policy. First it stops Joe Average from taking images that are not their property. Still I would recomment using a watermark on the image, if for nothing else, protection of your copyright. You have to provie...
