Title: Using BACKACC to Back Up Open Files
Date: 03/18/91

Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991.  All rights reserved.

Since the NET.ACC (usually in C:\3OPEN\SERVER\LANMAN\ACCOUNTS\) and
NET.AUD (usually in C:\3OPEN\SERVER\LANMAN\LOGS\) files are always open
when a 3+Open server is running with user-level security, 3+Open Backup
cannot save these files when the Server is running.  The BACKACC.EXE
program (located in C:\3OPEN\SERVER\LANMAN\NETPROG\) solves this problem by
copying the NET.ACC and NET.AUD files to NETACC.BKP and NETAUD.BKP,
respectively, in the same directories as the originals.  These alternate
files can then be backed up with the rest of the software on the server.

If auditing has never been turned on at this server, the NET.AUD (and
therefore, also the NETAUD.BKP) file may not exist.

You may run the BACKACC command either at the server console or via a remote
administrative link. There are no parameters or command line switches.

Running the BACKACC command suspends the Server service briefly, so it is
best to run the command when network activity to this server is low.  A good
time to run it is immediately before backing up a server.

Note:  The default STARTUP.CMD file for 3+Open 1.1 servers contains commands
to automatically create an AT schedule to run BACKACC every night.  The
BACKACCS.CMD batch file takes care of this and then is deleted when it is no
longer needed.  This is done with the following lines:

if not exist c:\3open\server\lanman\backaccs.cmd goto noback
call c:\3open\server\lanman\backaccs.cmd
del c:\3open\server\lanman\backaccs.cmd
:noback

You may choose to remove these lines after bringing up your server for the
first time.
