Archives, Groups, and Workstations

Update Configurator handles the creation of archives and groups, and the configuration parameters of archives, groups and workstations.

Archives

An archive holds a copy of the files and directories of a workstations harddisk. This copy resides in a directory on the servers disk and is created and maintained by the DOS program UPDATE under the control of Update Configurator. In the configuration database of Update Configurator information about this directory and some options used when updating from or to the archive is stored.

Groups

Groups only exist within Update Configurator and its configuration database. They are used to hold information that would otherwise have to be entered and maintained individually for a number of workstations. It is possible to specify a set of files/directories to ignore for a group, and commands to perform before a put operation or after a get operation. Groups can also point to a specific archive version.

Workstations

Update Configurator maintains information about the individual settings for each workstation that has been configured.
