Getting Started

Before Installing DataKeeper PowerVault 701N/705N Edition

Before you install DataKeeper PowerVault 701N/705N Edition on each user’s

workstation, you should first prepare the PowerVault 701N/705N.

1Set up your PowerVault 701N/705N.

If needed, use the PowerVault 701N/705N manual to help you with the installation.

You must be able to access the PowerVault 701N/705N over your network, and all

the DataKeeper users must be set up as users on the PowerVault 701N/705N. The

DataKeeper Admin program (SETUPADMIN.EXE) cannot set up a private share

for guest users.

File Systems FAT, FAT32, or NTFS

Operating system Windows 95b (or later)

Windows 98

Windows NT 4.0 Workstation (through Service Pack 6)

Windows 2000 Professional

Network protocols Microsoft Networking over TCP/IP

Monitor VGA or higher resolution

Network connection One or more PowerVault 701N/705N servers

Getting Started

2Run the DataKeeper Admin Install program (SETUPADMIN.EXE) to set up

private folders (“shares”) on the PowerVault 701N/705N to hold each user’s

backup files.

You must be able to log into the PowerVault 701N/705N as an administrator to set

up shares.

3Install DataKeeper on individual workstations. DataKeeper will automatically find

the PowerVault 701N/705N that was configured with the DataKeeper Admin

program.

Running the DataKeeper Admin Install Program

The Admin Install program configures a PowerVault 701N/705N to receive DataKeeper

data using share names. Share names allow client systems to save data without asking

users for an address after the initial setup.

Running the DataKeeper Admin install program ensures that backup files on the

PowerVault 701N/705N cannot be accessed by network users other than the owner.

Use of the program’s defaults is recommended to simplify the installation and to make

file restoration easy and quick.

1Insert the DataKeeper CD into the CD-ROM drive.

2Click Start ➤Run, then click Browse.

3Navigate to the language folder of choice on the DataKeeper CD.

Getting Started

4Select SETUPADMIN.EXE, then click Open.

5Click OK.

6Select the PowerVault 701N/705N where you want user backup data to reside, then

click Create User Shares.

7Specify an approved administrator ID and password.

8Select the users that you want to share the selected PowerVault 701N/705N.

9Create shares.

You can view and change the default settings.

10 Close the application.

Users can now install DataKeeper onto their own workstations either from the

PowerVault 701N/705N (see page 5) or from the DataKeeper CD (see page 7).

Installing DataKeeper from the PowerVault 701N/705N

The DataKeeper program is first loaded onto the PowerVault 701N/705N where the

shares are set up for user workstations over the network. Then you can install the

program.

Getting Started

configuring a public share.)

Installing DataKeeper from the PowerVault 701N/705N

username. If there are two or more users on a single workstation, each user must

complete the installation procedure.

the standard edition of PowerQuest DataKeeper must not be installed on the

Creating Your First Backup

Monitoring Your System

DataKeeper is set up, by default, to monitor changes to all fixed drives on your system

and to automatically create a backup of any file that you save to your hard disk.

Common program files (such as Windows files and EXE files, the directories specified

by the environment variables Temp and Tmp, and your local backup location) are

excluded from the automatic backup to minimize backup time and system impact. If you

want to back up these and other types of files, you can add them as described in

“Creating a Custom Backup” on page 10.

Monitoring, or automatic backup, remains in effect on your system as long as

DataKeeper is running or until you click Stop Monitoring from the Backup tab.

To restore a backed up file, see “Restoring a Backup” on page 14.

Exiting DataKeeper

1From the DataKeeper window, click File ➤Exit.

DataKeeper will shut down without backing up any files.

Clicking the “–” or “X” in the upper-right corner of the DataKeeper window will

minimize the program to the Windows system tray.
