* How does the Data Collector know if running News & Backup has successfully backed up the data on the Regional Server? We have been told that our backup has not worked since April, but no blatant error messages have occurred at any time to indicate a problem. We even have new laptops that were installed mid May, yet no backups are on the server. | * How does the Data Collector know if running News & Backup has successfully backed up the data on the Regional Server?

** There is no built-in error checking. Generally these files either work or they don't. What has gone wrong with the backups in the problem locations is that we set up new laptops and missed a step. I will change the file so that the thing we missed will raise an error if we miss it again. Will update here when done. Ttenbergen 11:09, 2013 June 12 (EDT) | ** There is no built-in error checking.

***to prevent any similar issues in the future would it be an idea for someone at your end to doublecheck each week/month or whatever time frame is reasonable to use, to make sure some data has in fact been backed up from each site/laptop on the Regional Server? | |||
