win-recover_20060425

Ceasar Sun — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 08:30:12 -0000

win-recover 功用為還原使用者環境之工具，depend on drbl-winRoll.

Depends : drbl-winRoll
Uncompress package, then run "setup_win-rrcover.bat" to install file and
service.

How to use:
1. 先在 windows 新增一個 user ，並設置好此 user 相關的環境
2. 以具有管理者權限執行 setup_win-rrcover.bat ，會進行 template storage
and Service installation

Service 為每次開機時執行，所以每次重新開機，便會以當初儲存的 template 還
原到指定的 user profile
path 中。

還原包含：書籤、程式目錄、桌面配置與所有 cache 檔案

已知問題：
由於 win-recover 是以 service 的方式執行，所以真正執行時間會較晚。如果使
用者很快的切換到此 user
環境( or use auto-login)，有可能會有 rsync 不完全的現象，但檔案的部份一
定會同步到，所以可能會出現
本來在桌面上的文件，下一秒鐘卻不見了(並 sync 掉了)的靈異現象，呵呵！
