- Do I need to verify that the backups are taking place? – Periodically. Check the thumbdrive using Windows File Explorer to verify that folders and files are present in 'E:\backups' and have today's date. The fastest way to open Windows File Explorer is to use your mouse and right-click the 'Start' button and select 'Explore' from the grey context menu that appears and then browse to the E: drive to view the files.
- What if the MegaTrak server crashes and doesn't reboot? - In the event of a failure such as this, you should immediately call the OIT Help Desk and they will forward your issue to Desktop Support Services. If the server is not recoverable, then we will use the backup files on the thumb drive to restore MegaTrak to a healthy state.
