VERITAS NetBackup 4.5 Users Guide for UNIX

Progress Logs and Email Notifications

NetBackup progress logs provide information on the progress of a NetBackup operation. These logs also indicate the success and failure of a NetBackup operation. For each user-directed operation, NetBackup can be configured to create a separate progress log file. You can delete the log files when they are no longer needed. For more details on creating log files, refer to “Checking Progress of Operations” on page 98 for xbp or “Checking Progress of Operations” on page 74 for bp. For more details on log files for the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface, refer to “Viewing the Progress of Backups and Restores” on page 30.

The NetBackup server can be configured to deliver email notifications to the client user on the status of the client user’s NetBackup operations. Refer to the NetBackup System Administrator’s Guide for UNIX or the NetBackup System Administrator’s Guide for Windows for details on configuring the server for email notifications.

Click on the “Run” button when you will be asked what you want to do, and the Android SDK and AVD Manager interface will appear.

Kubuntu Desktop Guide

Chapter 1. Introduction

This chapter provides some background information about Kubuntu, obtaining Kubuntu and finding help with Kubuntu.

1. About Kubuntu
Thank you for your interest in Kubuntu 6.10 – the Edgy Eft release.

Kubuntu is an entirely open source operating system built around the Linux kernel.
The Kubuntu community is built around the ideals enshrined in the Ubuntu Philosophy [http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/philosophy]: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customize and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. For those reasons:

  • Kubuntu will always be free of charge, and there is no extra fee for the “enterprise edition,” we make our very best work available to everyone on the same Free terms.

Linux and Windows Dual Booting Guide

It is possible that email and browser-based viruses, Trojans and worms are the source of the myth that Windows is attacked more often than Linux. Clearly there are more desktop installations of Windows than Linux. It is certainly possible, if not probable, that Windows desktop software is attacked more often because Windows dominates the desktop. But this leaves an important question unanswered. Do the attacks so often succeed on Windows because the attacks are so numerous, or because there are inherent design flaws and poor design decisions in Windows?

Linux has no technical support by my ISP Virgin Media yet it works on their cable network, these pages are written by a Linux user with a broadband cable connection.

Linux is suited to a Ethernet modem connector (RJ45) this is found on the back of a Surfboard 5100 modem for example. The other end plugs into your network connection or card on the back of your case/laptop.
