   1.  Verify Your First Backup
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you make your first backup with Conner Backup Exec, it
is highly recommended that you use the Verify After Backup
option. During the Verify phase, Conner Backup Exec compares
each file on the tape with the original on your hard drive to
ensure that they are identical. While verifying will increase
the time of the backup, it will confirm that your computer
system, tape drive, and Conner Backup Exec are working
together correctly.

If compare fails, run a hard disk utility program to determine
whether the hard drive is free of errors and try the backup again.


   2.  Before You Run Your First Scheduled Backup
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you run your first scheduled backup, you should run
a short backup with Verify After Backup selected (see above).
When the window advising you to not use your floppy drives
during backup appears, select "Disable This Message." This
will allow your scheduled backup to proceed uninterrupted.


   3.  ASPI SCSI Manager Requirements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An installed and configured ASPI Manager for the system SCSI
controller is required for use of Conner Backup Exec with SCSI
tape drives. Refer to your SCSI controller or system manual for
availability of an ASPI manager for your controller.


   4.  Installing Conner Backup Exec After Other Backup Programs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may experience difficulty running Conner Backup Exec
if some device files from other backup programs are
found in your SYSTEM.INI file. If you can't start
Conner Backup Exec, try commenting the following devices out
of your SYSTEM.INI file:

    CMSWTAPE.386
    CMSDTAPE.386
    CPVBX.386
    FASTBACK.386
    IRW286.DRV
    NOVABKP.386
    VIRWT.386
    VITD.386

To do this:

  1. Open the SYSTEM.INI file using a text editor.
  2. Search for the device name(s), e.g., DEVICE=CPVBX.386
  3. Type a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line.


   5.  Installing DOS 6.x After Conner Backup Exec for Windows
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOS 6.x installs an older version of the VFINTD.386 into the
DOS directory and then modifies the SYSTEM.INI
(DEVICE=C:\DOS\VFINTD.386). If you install MS-DOS 6.x after
Conner Backup Exec 3.0, the next time you launch Conner Backup Exec you
will be sent a warning dialog. This dialog notifies you that
the VFINTD.386 is the incorrect version. If you click OK in
this dialog Conner Backup Exec will save the existing SYSTEM.INI as
SYSTEM.QBW and make the necessary change to the "Device=" line
in the SYSTEM.INI. You can also make the changes manually by
performing the following steps:

  1. Open the SYSTEM.INI file using a text editor.
  2. Search for the VFINTD line (DEVICE=C:\DOS\VFINTD.386).
  3. Change the line to: DEVICE = [qbwin install path]\VFINTD.386.


   6.  Setup Disk Space Estimates
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To insure that the user always has enough disk space to
install Conner Backup Exec, the Setup program displays the
maximum amount of space that may be required for installation.
This estimate is affected by the actual options selected
for install and also includes some space that is necessary
in order to run the setup program.


   7.  Compressed Drives
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using compression software such as Stacker or
DoubleSpace, do not back up the compressed file (for example,
stacvol.* or the dblspace files), back up the logical drive
instead. Because these compressed files are typically very
large, attempting to restore may cause problems if you do not
have enough disk space to restore the compressed file.


   8.  Laptop/Notebook Video Conflicts
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some laptop and notebook computers may have video conflicts
that cause the tape drive to move the tape back and forth
excessively  ("shoe-shining").

If you experience this, try minimizing the Conner Backup Exec icon
and making the Program Manager window active and moving it over
the top of the icon while the program is writing to or reading
from the tape. The Conner Backup Exec window will activate itself
when the backup or restore is finished, and this action should
speed up your session.


   9.  Laptop Power Management Conflicts
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some laptop power management systems take a "snapshot" of RAM and
store it on the hard drive when they power down. This may create
a conflict if it occurs during a backup or restore or a tape
formatting operation.

When using Conner Backup Exec, it is recommended that you turn
OFF all power management features and plug your laptop into an
outlet rather than using the battery.


  10. Tape Despooling
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a tape "despools" (comes loose from the cartridge capstan,
a very rare occurrence), it may be necessary to turn the drive's
power off and on again or to turn your system off and on again
to clear the drive.


  11. Installing With Third-Party Windows Shells
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you use a third-party Windows shell program such as PCTools
or Norton Desktop for Windows, Conner Backup Exec may
not install correctly. If you experience difficulty installing
Conner Backup Exec under a shell, temporarily change your Windows shell
to the Program Manager before starting the setup program. To
change to the Program Manager, open your SYSTEM.INI file,
type a semicolon (;) in front of your current SHELL command in
the [boot] section, then type SHELL=PROGMAN.EXE on the following
line. For this change to take effect, you must restart Windows.
Remove these changes after installation to restore your
previous configuration.


  12. Potential Conflict with Screen Savers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you attempt to use Conner Backup Exec while a screen
saver is active and you get DMA or other errors, manually
disable the screen saver before running Conner Backup Exec.


  13.  NetWare Files With an Execute Only (X) Attribute
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NetWare files with an execute only (X) attribute will not be
backed up, compared, or overwritten during a restore.


  14.  Files Not Backed Up by Conner Backup Exec
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conner Backup Exec does not log or back up a number of files
to avoid potential system conflicts if they are restored.

  Compressed Volume files:

     DBLSPACE.0??
     DRVSPACE.0??
     STACVOL.*

  Windows swap files:

     386SPART.PAR
     WIN386.SWP

  NetWare System files:

     BACKOUT.TTS
     NET$SPL.QUE
     NET$MSG.SYS
     DIRSTAMP.SYS
     NET$OBJ.SYS*
     NET$PROP.SYS*
     NET$VAL.SYS*
     NET$BIND.SYS*
     NET$BVAL.SYS*
     SYS$LOG.ERR

 * These NetWare bindery files will be backed up or restored
   only if you are logged on to a server as Supervisor. See your
   User Guide for more information.

Additionally, Conner Backup Exec will not back up a number of
temporary files used by the program when these files are found
in the program's directory.


  15.  Changes to SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following lines are added during installation:

WIN.INI [Extensions]
    set=[qbwin install path]\qbwin.exe^set

SYSTEM.INI [386enh]
    device=[qbwin install path]\vfintd.386

If the Load With Windows checkbox in the Backup Scheduler is
checked, the following item is added to WIN.INI [Windows] load=
line:

    load=[qbwin install path]\scheduler.exe

This item is removed from the load= line when the checkbox is
unchecked and the Backup Scheduler is closed.


  16.  Using Removable Media Drives
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For your backup software to recognize and use a removable media
drive such as a Bernoulli drive, the drive must be locked.


  17.  ASPI Driver Incompatibilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some ASPI drivers are incompatible with Windows for Workgroups
and with Windows 3.1 when a DOS program is running in a window.
If you experience problems running under either of these
programs, please contact your SCSI card manufacturer for an
updated ASPI driver.


  18.   Supported SCSI Controllers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following SCSI controller cards are supported by this
software:

     Adaptec AHA-1542CF
     Adaptec AHA-1510
     Adaptec AHA-1520
     Adaptec AHA-1522A
     Adaptec AHA-1530P
     Adaptec AHA-1540B
     Adaptec AHA-1542B
     Adaptec AHA-1542C
     Adaptec AHA-1640
     Adaptec AHA-2940
     Adaptec AHA-2842A
     Adaptec AHA-2742AT
     Adaptec AHA-1510A
     Adaptec AHA-1742A

     DPT  PM-2022/95
     DPT  PM-2122/95
     DPT  PM-2021/95


  19.  Restoring Files with NetWare Delete Inhibit or Rename
       Inhibit Attributes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During a Restore, you cannot overwrite files which have
the NetWare Delete Inhibit (D) or Rename Inhibit (R)
attribute set. To restore these files, you must first manually
remove the Delete Inhibit or Rename Inhibit attribute.


  20. Install: Selecting a Program Group
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A modification has been made to the User Guide. In the topic,
"Beginning the Installation" the section "Selecting a Program Group"
has been simplified. During the Installation process setup asks,
"Do you want setup to create a program group and icons?".
You simply need to respond Yes or No. If you choose Yes, setup
will create a program group named Conner Backup Exec.
If you choose No, then a program group will not be created.


  21. IDE Tape Drive Connection Restriction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The IDE tape drive must be the only device connected to the
cable that connects it to the system board or IDE controller.
Conner Backup Exec does not support operation of
the tape drive when it is used concurrently with another
IDE device on the same cable.
