ACS Retrieval Procedure
The full recovery of the ACS in the event of a System Crash can only be determined by performing regular housekeeping of the System. This includes the frequent routine backup of the following Files:
ACS
Technetix.ini
HUC
HeadEnd.ini
These two Files can be backed up automatically on the 250Mb Zip drives provided in both the ACS and the HUC PC.
Note: You should configure the SQL Server to automatically back up the Technetix.ini File at a regular interval i.e. every 24Hours and the HUC to automatically back up the HeadEnd.ini File at a regular interval i.e. every 24Hours
The ACS and HeadEnd may first need to be re-installed, depending on how severe the System Crash
Please refer to Section-2 System Installation
After the HeadEnd has been re-installed, the HeadEnd.ini File is to be copied into the Path name within the HUC
C:\Winnt
After the ACS has been re-installed, the Technetix.ini File is to be copied into the Path name of the ACS SQL Database
C:\Winnt
