How can I force workstations off of a server before backing up?


If you have workstations that are keeping files open on the server you can force them off by using the net use command from a command prompt through the Task Manager or batch file.   You can individually close the network connection to any workstation connected to the server before you run PC Data Backups. 

You can find detailed instructions on how to use this command and the available switches by typing the command net use /help from a command prompt.

You can get to a command prompt through windows usually by clicking:
  1. "Start"
  2. "Programs" or "All Programs"
  3. "Accessories"
  4. "Command Prompt"
Then type net use /help command after the prompt for detailed instructions.

     

Log in & access your backed up files securely
