GWCP Backup 7/7 tab
The Backup 7/7 service will backup all the local mailboxes and the remote client's shares you choose. It usually automatically starts every day at 13:00, compresses the last week files in the special LASTWEEK directory, copies today's files in today's directory and sends an e-mail with the results log to the gate-and-way user (public mailbox). All directories and log files are also accessible to the LAN clients, so that they can be stored in other removable devices such as cdroms, tapes etc.
In the top grid must be inserted the information needed to access the files to be copied:
Server Name is your local server's name or the remote host name which stores the files. Your server can be called with its name, localhost, 127.0.0.1 or its IP address. Remote hosts can be called with their names or their IP addresses.
Share Name is the SMB share name, i.e. the name you can see browsing the Network Neighborhood from a Windows PC. A Gate-and-Way server with all the services installed will have 3 shared folders to store files: public (where all the LAN users can store their own files), voice (where the voice messages are stored) and backup (where any Windows PC can access the backup files created by Backup 7/7)
The Subdirectory is optional. Insert it only if you want a partial backup of a shared folder.
Username and Password are only necessary if the remote server requires them to give out read access to the files stored there.
As usual, the grid changes are saved by clicking on the Apply Updates button and canceled clicking on the Revert Updates one.
Under the Status box you can find a button to perform a Backup Now and two other buttons to Start and Stop the automatically activated backup at 13:00 each day.
