Overview:
Should servers on your local network lose the correct time as a result of extended power loss, or perhaps a machine move to a different time-zone, you may need to set or change time.Procedure:
To set the correct time on your local network, power down all the servers within a network except the server housing the clearinghouse service. Then insert the Services #1 Master Disk normally used to install software into that server, and set or change time. Note: Be careful not to partition the disk. Doing so will destroy all contents of the service. You will be using only the set time utility and then you will start the server.1. Power down all the other servers within the network, except the one housing the clearinghouse service.
3. Go to the server housing the clearinghouse service.
2. Insert the floppy disk (Services # 1 Master Disk) into the floppy drive. Press both the B RESET and ALT B buttons, release B RESET, wait until 0002 appears in the maintenance panel and then release ALT B.
3. The prompt will ask you for the date and time. Press
<
RETU RN>
after you answer each prompt:a. On the prompt for hour offset, type ~5 for Eastern time zone, ·6 for Central, ·7 for Rocky Mountain, and ·8 for Pacific. In all cases, type 0 for the minute offset. For the Daylight Savings Time prompts, type the appropriate numbers.
b. Type in the current month and time in this format: MM/DO/YY HH:MM:SS (e.g. 09/28/82 13:02:00 using the 24-hour clock). Then, confirm your entry.
4. ThE~ utility option menu will appear. Select the Start System option.
5. You will receive a normal startup prompt. When it appears, type Y.
6. Wait until the services are started and the normal prompt appears, then remove the floppy disk.
7. Boot all other servers by pressing the B RESET button.

Notes:
Change network number
Overview: There may be an instance in which you will be required to change your network number. Since network numbers are assigned by Xerox, an instance requiring you to change your network number might occur if you entered the number incorrectly when you first loaded software.
It is also possible that a server, with services loaded, would be physically moved or connected to a new network, and thus need to have its network number changed.
Procedure: Changing the network number is one of the startup options that appears when you boot a server. After changing the network number, you may also need to chang~ a considerable amount of information in the clearinghouse database.
1. Power down each server on the network, except the one housing the clearinghouse service.
2. 800t the machine housing the clearinghouse service. Do this by pressing the 8 RESET button.
3. Type N to normal startup prompt.
4. Select the Change Network Number option. Note: This option is available only if all other servers on the network are turned off.
5. Answer the prompt for a new network number.
6. Type Y for a normal startup.
If the server has been physically moved or connected to a new network, you will not need to complete steps 7 through 9. You will, instead, need to register all the services on that server in the d'earinghouse service of the new network.
7. Log on at the server and direct your commands to the clearinghouse service.
8. Change the entry for each of the following items registered in the clearinghouse: file service, mail service, communication interface unit,' external communication service, gateway service, internetwork routing service, interactive term inal servic:e.
9. 800t each server.

"Backup of November 24,19828:34 PM, #2" complete 2 backup disks created
Notes:
Overview: You may need to replace backup disks for a specific date if one or more of the backup disks is lost or damaged. To do so enter the date of the specific backup instance to be repeated and insert new floppy disks. Then place the new disks with the rest of your backup floppy disks for a particular cycle.
When Repeat Backup is run, the system copies every document that was initially backed up on that specified date--except for documents deleted from the file system since that original backup operation. Therefore, the backup disk produced by Repeat Backup may not be an exact duplicate of the original backup.
Procedure:
1. Log on at the server and direct your commands to the file service.
2.. Type Repeat Backup.
3., Enter the date of the backup to be repeated when the prompt appears.
4. Follow the prompts to insert floppy disks.
5. Label and store the completed floppy disks with the other backup disks for the cycle.

Notes:
Overview:
The entire file system can be restored to the server's disk from the backup disks. In other words, data will be written to its original location on the file system when you use the Restore command. This process may be necessary if there are problems with the file server and can also be used to move a file service to another server. (See task J for moving a service).The most recent backup disks will restore the file service close to the state it was in before the failure.
However, any documents filed after the most recent backup was run will not be restored.
If you lose a file system on at server with a removable disk, you can restore information by immediately making a copy of your backup pack. (See task B of this booklet).
Procedure:
1. Log on at the server and direct your commands to the file service.
2. Type Restore.
3. Respond Y to Restore everythi ng on backup disk? Respond Y or N to the prompts to suppress feedback and confirm each restore. Normally, you would want to see the feedback, but would not want to confi rm each restore.
4. ThE~ number of floppy disks needed to restore all the files will vary, depE~nding on the size and number of files originally stored. Insert backup floppy disks in the following order:
• Most recent complete set in sequential order
• All of the disks of subsequent days for which backup was started but not completed (if any)
• Disks for previous days in the backup cycle, most current to oldest
5. When you have restored the file system from all the floppy disks in the cycle, type N to the Proceed prompt, indicating that no more floppy disks remain.
Comments:
If you wish to restore only part of backup disk, refer to Task O.CAUTION: Your file service will have multiple copies of files (some of them empty folders) if you stop the restore cycle before it is completed and then restart it. This includes both the case of responding N to the prompt to proceed before you have restored all backup disks, or the case of continuing the restore if the server does an automatic restart for whatever reason. This is because each time a restore process is restarted, it forgets about earl i E?r restorati ons.
If the restore operation is stopped for any reason, you will need to delete the file drawers already restored to the file server and begin the restore process over, beginning with the first disk.
