Frequently
Asked Questions about Automated Backups
Q:
Can I create a schedule using the evaluation
version of SyncBackSE?
A: No. The only restriction with the
trial version of SyncBackSE is that it
is not possible to create a scheduled
backup. The evaluation version of SyncBackSE
always prompts you whenever a profile
is run, even if it is run from a schedule.
This means you would need to click the
'Evaluate' button on the nag screen for
the profile to run even if a schedule
is defined.
Q: What happens when my computer restarts
from hibernation?
A: When you resume from hibernation
the BIOS performs the typical Power On
Self Test (POST), and then reads the
hibernation file, Hiberfil.sys, to restore
the state of the computer. Everything
that was running when you put the computer
in hibernation is restored.
Q: Is using Hibernation safe for my
computer?
A: Yes. Hibernation is a perfectly safe
means of starting your computer.
Q:
Why do I get an "Insufficient
system resources exist to complete the
API" error message?
A: In rare instances, you may receive
the following error message: 'Insufficient
System Resources Exist to Complete the
API'.
This issue may occur under conditions
where physical RAM is very fragmented,
and hibernation may not work. To resolve
the issue, close all programs and restart
the computer. This is not an issue with
Windows XP SP2.
Q: How fast will my computer start from
hibernation?
A: Windows will resume more quickly,
and all your apps will be just as you
left them. You may have to enter a password,
depending on how your system is configured,
but the process is still quicker than
going through the standard Windows start-up.
Note that the time that it takes to
resume from hibernate can vary considerably.
The amount of system resources needed
to resume from hibernation is comparable
to the amount needed to boot the computer;
but in this case, the computer must also
read back and decompress whatever "dirty" pages
were saved while going into hibernation.
Thus the time to resume from hibernation
depends on how much RAM the computer
has installed, the applications that
were running, and what state those applications
were in when the computer went into hibernation.
Q: Will I notice any changes to my system
once hibernation is enabled?
A: Once
the hibernation feature is enabled, you
may notice several new options on
various menus and dialog boxes. For example,
when you click Start, Shut Down, you
will see the Hibernate option has been
added
to the Shut Down Windows dialog box.
Q: Are there any system performance
issues related to hibernation?
A: Over time your system may show a
slight decrease in performance because
a full Windows housekeeping regime is
missed when using Hibernate rather than
Shutdown. We therefore advise that you
manually restart your computer every
couple of weeks to ensure Windows is
performing as efficiently as possible.
Q: Is there a shortcut to hibernation
in Windows XP?
A: Creating a shortcut to hibernate
a Windows XP PC (for people who find
that 5 clicks is just too much). Create
a shortcut with a target of %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe
PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState.
