Iomega Backup, Version 4.1
c 1999 Iomega Corporation. All rights reserved
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This file contains important information which supplements
the User Guide and On-line Help.
The following subjects are discussed:
1. Preparing for Disaster Recovery
2. Clearing a corrupt Librarian (Error Codes 8000 - 8499)
3. Files not backed up
4. Disaster Recovery does not specifically handle compressed drives
5. Norton Utilities 3.0 conflict with Backup
1. Preparing for Disaster Recovery [Win9x only]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure you prepare for a disaster before it happens. Back up
your data regularly and test out the Disaster Recovery feature
as soon as possible. Follow the tips below to ensure a safe
recovery:
. Test the Disaster Recovery feature by selectively restoring a
small amount of data to an alternate path.
. Run ScanDisk before you backup your data. This will ensure
that none of your long file names are corrupt.
. Make sure your zip/jaz disk is in the drive when you boot
up from the Recovery Diskette. This helps the utility identify
the drive type.
. When starting a complete disaster recovery, boot up with the
Recovery Tools Disk and format the drive using the '/s'
parameter. Do not use a DOS disk to format the drive.
2. Clearing a corrupt Librarian (Error codes 8000 - 8499)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Iomega Backup starts reporting error codes between 8000 and 8499,
the Librarian has probably been damaged. To correct this delete the
following files from the tools directory:
Fileinfo.dbf
Fileinfo.cdx
Files.dbf
Files.cdx
Files.fpt
Files.stk
Tapes.cdx
Tapes.dbf
Tapes.fpt
Tapes.stk
Volumes.dbf
Volumes.cdx
Volumes.stk
Iomega Backup will recreate these files the next time it runs.

pagefile.sys
win386.swp

4. Disaster Recovery does not specifically handle compressed drives
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using a drive compression utility, you must follow the steps
below to recover your system.
a. Boot to the recover application
b. Perform a selective restore of the Windows system
directory, the Iomega Tools directory, and any compression
drivers you need.
c. Reboot the machine and set the drive up for compression.
d. Restore the rest of your data through Iomega Backup.
5. Norton Utilities 3.0 conflict with Backup
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are running Norton Utilities 3.0 with Disk Imaging on it is possible to
get an image error while performing a backup. The error message will state
" Image: Error, An error occured updating the image data for drive "Your Iomega
Drive ". This disk is either missing, full, or damaged."
To resolve this problem perform the following steps before performing a backup:
a. Ensure you have a disk in your Iomega removable drive.
b. Go to the Start Menu, Programs, Norton Utilities, Image.
c. Click on the Run Image Now. Note - You should have to only perform
this operation 1 time.
Never run Norton Utilities Disk Image while performing a backup as this could
cause problems.
