Hello everyone!

Hope you all are keeping well.

I have Expand IT Backup installed on our Navision Attain Server, but I ahve a few questions I would like answered that are not covered in the help file:

1. Do I use the Windows Task Sheduler to run the backup? As far as I can see, ExpantIT Backup does not have its own scheduler!

2. If I do it this way, and I either have a screensaver on, or the screen locked out (and is prompting for a user password), will the backup still run?

3. I tried it this way last night for 21:00. But this morning the error.txt file states that [The backup device is full]. The only thing I can think of is that I added an object cache of 8000 after I did a live manual test of the utility, which was successful yesterday afternoon. The manual test had a blank object cache at that time.

What does that error actually mean? And do I need to specify an object cache for the backup? What is an optimal value when the size of the database is 4GB and backups are now reaching 1GB (uncompressed)?


Hopefully someone else has run into these problems. The configuration is as follows:


Navision Attain 3.01A
Windows 2000 Server SP2
ExpandIT Backup Standard 2.1c[/quote]

    Hello,

    I am using ExpandIt for 3 years now. it is install on another server and connect to the Navision server through TCPIP with database athentication.

    The job is scheduled with the Windows task administrator every night.

    Our database is 40 Go, and the total fbk is 8 Go (it takes 3 hours to complete). No problem until now.

    Regards,
