McAfee WebStor
Release V1.00
McAfee Associates, Inc.
1. What is WebStor
===================
WebStor is McAfee's personal backup and data management utility
for Windows 95. Using WebStor, you can backup and restore data at
any time without relying on someone else, such as the LAN
Administrator, for storage management. WebStor provides a simple
and effective method for protecting your data without the need
for tape drives or additional equipment.
2. Using FTP Icon Connection with WebStor on the Internet
=========================================================
FTP Icon Connection is the WebStor program that connects you to
an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server for backing up and
retrieving data. WebStor doesn't actually "make" the Internet
connection. The user is responsible for providing the Internet
account and activating the connection for use. The Internet
account needs to support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) and/or
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).
WebStor allows the backup repository to reside on an FTP server.
The user account on the FTP service must be PPP or TCP/IP
enabled. Contact your local ISP (Internet Service Provider) or
surf to WWW.MCAFEE.COM for information on obtaining and using an
FTP shell on the Internet.
3. What is FTP?
================
FTP is a communications protocol that is used to control the flow
of TCP/IP packets across the Internet and Intranets for the
purpose of transferring files between nodes.
4. Using WebStor on the Intranet
=================================
An Intranet is a private network that has the same look, feel and
operation as the Internet and operates on Internet protocols. If
your corporation or group has FTP services on the network you may
request a user account and password to access the server locally
and/or remotely. Contact the network adminstrator. WebStor needs
configuration information to access the FTP server. Your network
administrator will provide the Domain Name Services (DNS) name or
explicit IP (Internet Protocol) address, user name and password
to be used during configuration.
5. Dial-Up Networking
======================
Dial-Up networking is a Windows 95 service you can configure to
connect your computer to an Internet Service Provider, a private
network or directly to another computer with a modem. If a dial-
up networking connection is configured for the ISP, when FTP Icon
Connection is called by WebStor for either backup or restore, the
dial-up connection is called and the connection made.
Connecting to an Internet Service Provider
==========================================
To connect to an Internet Service Provider using the Windows
95 dialer, follow the procedure below:
1. Set up the Dial-Up Networking icon.
2. Verify that the Dial-Up Adapter and TCP/IP protocol are
installed.
3. Configure the TCP/IP protocol for dynamic IP addressing.
4. Set up the Connection Icon.
5. Set up the Dial-Up properties.
6. Dial in to the ISP.
Netcom has written about how to connect to their Internet
Service using the Windows 95 dialer. This document can be
accessed through the Internet at the following address:
http://www.netcom.com/bin/webtech/NetCruiser/Operating_Syste
ms/win95.dial.html
Connecting to a Private Network
===============================
The methods already described may be applicable to connect
to many private networks. The following points are
important:
1. If you are going to use an FTP site to store the backup
files, you need to establish a TCP/IP connection to your
network.
2. All internetwork connections that result in mapping a
drive on the remote share will enable the exported volume to
act as a backup repository for WebStor.
Connecting Directly to Another Computer
=======================================
Microsoft supports direct connections between two computers
via the parallel prot and also modem connections using dial-
up networking. These connections result in shared directories
which can be mapped as a drive letter and used with WebStor. Refer
to the Microsoft documentation for configuration procedures.
6. How to Configure the Microsoft Plus Pak Internet Control Panel for
Auto Winsock Dialing
=============================================================
To configure the Plus Pak Internet component, you must first
install the TCP/IP protocol. Go to Control Panel, Network. Click
Add, then Protocol. Click Microsoft in the Manufacturers column,
and then click Microsoft TCP/IP. Bind TCP/IP to the Dial-Up
Networking adapter. Enter the TCP/IP information.
Now select Add/Remove Components, Internet Jumpstart Kit from the
Plus Pak. It will automatically get the information entered into
the TCP/IP protocol. Follow the instructions on the screen.
7. Remote Network Connections
==============================
Remote network connections that result in mapped drive letters
can be used as a repository, (i.e. RAS(Remote Access Server),
NFS(Network File System)).
8. Functions Not Enabled in This Release
=========================================
WebStor will allow you to select a network drive to be backed up
using a right mouse click on the drive icon. However, network
drive backup is not yet supported.
9. Troubleshooting /Tips
==================
There are times when the registery gets corrupted under Windows 95. The
following is a step by step procedure to restoring your registery.
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down
2. Click Restart the computer in MS-DOS Mode, and then click Yes.
3. Change to your Windows directory. for example, if your Windows
directory is C:\Windows, you would type the following: cd
c:\windows
4. Type the following commnads, pressing ENTER after each one.
(note that SYSTEM.DA0 and USER.DA0 contain the number zero).
ATTRIB -h -r -s system.dat
ATTRIB -h -r -s system.da0
COPY system.da0 system.dat
ATTRIB -h -r -s user.dat
ATTRIB -h -r -s user.da0
COPY user.dao user.dat
5. Restart your computer
Tip: Following this procedure will restore your registery to its
state when you last successfully started your computer.
10. Known Problems
==================
none
11. Hints on ImageStor
=======================
ImageStor does a sector by sector image backup of the specified
drive to another drive of equal or greater capacity, to a file
image located on a network drive, or to a SCSI tape drive. To
copy the disk image to a file on a network drive you must have as
much file space available as the disk that you are copying.
12. ImageStor - Real Mode Drivers
==================================
ImageStor will attempt to locate drivers by scanning CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT under Windows 95 for the creation of the boot
diskette. But this may not be sufficient. Because Windows 95 does
not require many of the real mode drivers traditionally used by
DOS and Windows 3.1 (for example, ASPI SCSI drivers or DOS mouse
drivers), these files may not be called out by CONFIG.SYS or
AUTOEXEC.BAT. These drivers may not even exist on the Windows 95
hard disk. If this is the case, you may need to refer to the
manufacturer of your hardware to obtain the necessary drivers
needed to create a bootable diskette. In most cases, these
drivers are accessible by accessing the manufacturer's BBS or FTP
(Internet) site if you cannot locate the original diskettes that
came with the hardware.
