Mac Bkup: Backup Can Stop Remote Connection (99698)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.1
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.1a
This article was previously published under Q99698 SYMPTOMS
When the MS Mail Backup utility (a Control Panel device) and Remote
Server Connection (RSC) are enabled on the same version 3.1 Microsoft
Mail for AppleTalk Networks server, RSC may be in the middle of
transmitting mail messages at the same time the mail server is
scheduled to be backed up.
RESOLUTION
The backup will proceed as scheduled and, in the process, shut down
the mail server, and this will disconnect the dial-up connection to
the remote server.
After the backup has been completed, the Macintosh will be restarted
and will return to its normal operating state. RSC will not attempt to
reconnect to the remote server until its next scheduled connection
time, or earlier depending on the other options enabled within RSC.
Since the Backup utility and the RSC are independent processes that
can run at any time, there is no resolution to this potential problem.
