 1. Data Compression
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 ARCsolo 2.2 includes new software data compression.  This compression is not 
 compatible with previous versions and is not able to read data compressed
 with ARCserve/Solo 2.11.

 ==============================================================================

 2. Reports
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 ARCsolo 2.2 includes reports to list the files and directories processed
 by each job.  Each file or directory includes its type, name, size 
 (for files), date and time modified, and attributes.  The file types are
 listed as a single character that precedes the name of the file; the
 attributes are listed after the date and time modified.

 2.1. File Types
      The following table lists the file types.

        <Blank> DOS
        m       Macintosh
        o       OS/2            (Scan Tape Only)

 ==============================================================================

 3. Optional Settings
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 ARCsolo 2.2 provides for several optional settings in the ARCSOLO.INI file.

 3.1. Options Settings
      Optional settings under the [Options] section:

        FileMeter
                Set FileMeter=0 (FALSE) to disable meter that shows how much
                of each file has been read or written during Backup, Compare,
                Restore and Copy.  The default is 1 (TRUE).

        NetworkDrives
                Set NetworkDrives=0 (FALSE) to disable support for Network 
                Drives.  Remote drives will be listed by their DOS drive
                letter.  The default is 1 (TRUE).

        OpenFileMode
                Set OpenFileMode=[number] to determine how files will be 
                opened for Backup, Compare and Copy.  The default is 0.
                The table below shows the modes available.

                        0       If deny write fails, deny none.
                        1       Deny write only.
                        2       Deny none only.

 3.2. Backup Settings
      Optional settings under the [Backup] section:

        CompressMode
                Set CompressMode=[number] to set the software data compression 
                mode. The number may be from 1 (FASTEST) to 9 (SMALLEST).  
                The default is 1 (FASTEST).

        DeleteFiles
                Set DeleteFiles=1 (TRUE) to allow Backup to delete source 
                files if that option is selected and the job is scheduled.
                The default is 0 (FALSE).

        EjectFullTapes
                Set EjectFullTapes=1 (TRUE) to have Backup eject the tape 
                from the tape drive when it becomes full.  This will insure 
                that the tape will not be overwritten by later backups.
                The default is 0 (FALSE).

        SkipBigFiles
                Set SkipBigFiles=0 (FALSE) to backup files larger than 2 
                gigabytes in size.  The default is 1 (TRUE) and these files
                are skipped.

 3.3. Copy Settings
      Optional settings under the [Copy] section:

        DirectorySpace
                Set DirectorySpace=0 (FALSE) to prevent Copy from copying the
                directory space restrictions on Novell file servers.  The  
                default is 1 (TRUE).

        FileAttributes
                Set FileAttributes=0 (FALSE) to prevent Copy from copying the
                file attributes on DOS and Network drives.  The default is
                1 (TRUE).

        RemoteCopy
                If Copy is used to copy files from a Novell file server to
                another volume or directory of the same file server, it will
                have the file server do the copying.  Set RemoteCopy=0
                (FALSE) to force Copy to have the workstation copy the files.
                The default is 1 (TRUE).

        Trustees
                Set Trustees=0 (FALSE) to prevent Copy from copying the
                trustee assignments on Novell file servers.  The  default 
                is 1 (TRUE).

 3.4. Restore Settings
      Optional settings under the [Restore] section:

        DirectorySpace
                Set DirectorySpace=0 (FALSE) to prevent Restore from restoring
                the directory space restrictions on Novell file servers.  The  
                default is 1 (TRUE).

        EmptyDirectories
                Set EmptyDirectories=1 (TRUE) to force Point & Select Restore
                to restore empty directories.  The default is 0 (FALSE).

        FileAttributes
                Set FileAttributes=0 (FALSE) to prevent Restore from restoring
                the file attributes on DOS and Network drives.  The default is
                1 (TRUE).

        Trustees
                Set Trustees=0 (FALSE) to prevent Restore from restoring the
                trustee assignments on Novell file servers.  The  default 
                is 1 (TRUE).

 3.5. Purge Settings
      Optional settings under the [Purge] section:

        RemoveDirectories
                Set RemoveDirectories=0 (FALSE) to prevent Purge from removing 
                empty directories.  The default is 1 (TRUE).

 3.6. Tape Settings
      Optional settings under the [Tape] section:

        BlockFactor
                Set BlockFactor=[number] to override the block size for all 
                of your tape drives.  Set BlockFactor.[scsi id]=[number] to 
                override the block size for a single tape drive.  The table 
                below shows the number for each block size.

                        Block Size      Block Factor
                        512 bytes       0
                        1 Kbytes        1
                        2 Kbytes        2
                        4 Kbytes        3

                        16 Kbytes       5

        FastSpace
                Set FastSpace=1 (TRUE) to use the FAST mode when using the 
                SCSI SPACE command on Tandberg drives.  The default is 0 
                (FALSE).

        FixRewind
                Set FixRewind=1 (TRUE) to correct a problem when rewinding 
                tapes on Wangtek DAT drives.  The default is 0 (FALSE).

        MemoryLimit
                Set MemoryLimit=640 to prevent ARCsolo from using memory past 
                640K.  The default is 640.  Some memory managers allow DOS 
                to access memory beyond 640K, but it cannot be used by the
                tape drivers.

 3.7. Debug Settings
      Optional settings under the [Debug] section:

        Mode
                Set Mode=[mode(s)] to set the debugging mode for the tape 
                driver.  The default is off.  The table describes the modes; 
                more than one can be selected.

                        Write errors to the tape log file       F
                        Display errors on the screen            S

                        Trace function calls                    T

        Monitor
                Set Monitor=[type][page number] to set the type of monitor 
                used for debugging.  The default is S (Secondary).  The table 
                describes the types; the page number can be 0 of 1 for color 
                monitors.

                        Color           C
                        Monochrome      M
                        Primary         P

        Please check the latest ARCsolo Certification List for
        the list of certified tape drives.


 Wangtek 6200
 ------------
       If you are having trouble rewinding the tape, set the FixRewind option
       described in section 3.6.

 ==============================================================================

 6. Compatibility
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Cheyenne Software's testing has shown the following:

 6.1. APPEND
     The DOS APPEND utility can cause problems for ARCsolo.  If APPEND is
     used, ARCsolo will find the files in the APPENDed directory when an
     empty directory is backed up, copied, counted or purged.  For this
     reason, Cheyenne recommends that you not use APPEND with ARCsolo.

 6.2. Network Drives
      You must have READ and WRITE access to any network drive you wish to
      copy or restore to.  WRITE access alone will not work.

 6.3. NetWare Lite
      ARCsolo cannot use the network name to list the files on NetWare Lite
      drives.  You should set the NetworkDrives option to 0 (FALSE) as 
      described in section 3.1.

 6.4. XMS Memory
      There is a problem when using the XMS memory option (available for 
      certain tape drivers) and the system reports more than 15 megabytes of
      XMS memory available.  Use the About box <Alt-F1> to show the amount of
      XMS memory available.  If the amount is greater than 15 megabytes, then
      do not use the XMS option.  You can also load an EMS driver such as 
      EMM386 to reduce the amount of memory available to XMS.
