My tape drive just went dead, and I'm upgrading it to a new one, and I figured since I'm spending the money anyways, might as well upgrade the software. I have used CA's ArcServe 7.0 and am somewhat happy with it. Not worried about ease of use as I can figure that out, I just want to see which is the best one and if anyone has had experience with them Which one of the following is a better backup management software? Yosemite Backup Basic Suite Yosemite Backup SBS Yosemite Backup Enhanced Pro Suite Yosemite Backup Remote Server Pack for 1 Client Yosemite Backup Remote Server Pack for 5 Clients Yosemite Backup Enterprise CommVault Galaxy Express File S…

Hi, I'm using the performance data helper library to write some performance counters to a log file but the only format available to me seems to be the CSV format. Is there a way I can have the log written in PERFMON format? ////// start code pdhStatus = PdhBrowseCounters(&pdhBrowseDialogConfigurationBlock); if (pdhStatus == ERROR_SUCCESS || pdhStatus == PDH_DIALOG_CANCELLED) { DWORD dwFlags = (PDH_LOG_WRITE_ACCESS | PDH_LOG_CREATE_ALWAYS); DWORD dwLogType = PDH_LOG_TYPE_CSV; // PDH_LOG_TYPE_PERFMON not supported? DWORD dwMaxSize = 0x20000000; // .5 GB? // PdhOpenLog returns ERROR_SUCCESS when log type is CSV // a…

New hard drive keeps reinstalling

I installed a hard drive in an external USB container. It installed fine. I then partationed and formatted the drive as NTFS. Which also completed successfully. While copying data to the drive, the copy process froze. When I restarted the computer, the drive was no longer visibly available. I unstalled the drive and let the system redetect the drive. At this point it appears to install correctly and then at the finish it says "An error occurred during the installation of the device The specified service does not exist as an installed service." When the process is finished, it starts detecting the drive all over and then comes back to this error message. …

prevent files being deleted or modified...

Hi. I have a growing number of files in NTFS folder shares (W2K) that I want to protect from modification or deletion by a group of users (call them 'GroupA'). I thought I would be able to achieve this by applying the deny delete, delete sub-folders and files, append data, change permission and take ownership permissions to GroupA on the files in question. As 'deny' permission takes precedence over 'allow' I expected any rights GroupA inherited to modify the file would have been superceded by the 'deny' permissions. However, when I tested this I found GroupA users were still able to delete the files. (I didn't check whether they could modify them) Look…

C2 compliance?

I have read some articles about Windows NT/2K C2-compliance. The part that interests me is object reuse protection. Supposedly this means that disk space is initialized to 0 when it is allocated. However, I don't see this happening on my 2K system, not as far as I can tell. Wouldn't zeroing (for say, hundreds of megabytes) imply a long write to disk everytime a new file was created? I initially thought that C2 compliance could be achieved through configuration, but did not ship that way out of the box. Some of the articles state that the evaluation applies to off-the-shelf products, which is ambiguous as to whether that means default configuration or simply a l…

I like the X-mouse setting available through TweakUI. However, it only seems to work between separate windows, i.e. it doesn't seem to work between two Excel sheets or subwindows in other applications. Is it possible? -- Herbert Eppel http://www.HETranslation.co.uk

In window explorer, when I click on a file, it will run the application associated with the file type. In the file type, I set it as application.exe "%1" Normally, it would inherit the full path (including spaces). However, for one application, it inherited the short name instead. I wonder why ? It it due to the application or my settings in file type ? Thanks for your help in advance.

I have a brand new HP computer with Windows Vista pre-installed. I need also w2k on the same mashine. I made a peimary partition using Vista built in Desk Manager. Now I have booted from w2k cd. Now I remembered from my experience with w2k-XP installations on one computer that they both use NTDETECT and NTLOADER files and is w2k is installed after XP, the XP would not boot because NTDETECT and NTLOADER installed by w2k are not compatible with XP. Questions: 1. Is it OK to have both Vista and w2k onthe same mashine? 2. Does Vista use NTDETECT and NTLOADER ? If it does, where do they reside so that I could back them up? I failed to find them, but this is…
