trente deux

  • Up and at'em
  • Preparing a computer to be a backup computer for the files in Maradi
  • Back up computer was not on same workgroup
  • was using simple file sharing
  • needed to restrict access to backup folder to admin group only
  • Permissions issues on the old backups ... makes sense since we had to change from simple file sharing
  • After last test here I think we will be using Karen's replicator for the backups on the client machines. Pretty good set and forget functionality. Other problem with synctoy is its dependency on dotnet
  • New antivirus installed
  • Backup jobs loaded and going through initial run.
  • security on backup machine a bit harder since that is also the machine sharing its internet connection with the rest of the lan using a dogonay phone. Guest users do not seem to be able to automatially launch the dialer, so will probably have to create a limited user for guests and adjust software and permissions as needed.
  • kasum and coke for lunch ... @ 2:30!
  • Data is a mixed bag here ... needs to be streamlined, but we will not have time to do that and reeducate the users where things are. Will do some limited cleanup that will be possible with the unified backup.
