Next steps

Physics IT to do:

1. Image all three systems in case of hard drive failure. Document where images are stored.

Nick Taylor, Testing Lab, to do, in priority order:

1. Determine how daily file-copies are being done from TC2 to TC3. In that case FMPro file copied. Determine how to replicate so copies also going to TC1. And copies from TC1 to TC2 and TC3.
   • All systems have access to "Backup" folder on each of the other systems (verified that today).
2. Determine how EZData functions, including dependent helper files, so that it could be reconstructed if on new OS with new version of FM Pro.
   • Current version of FM Pro used is v11.
   • Reads scanned test results and inputs them into FMPro, per:
3. Determine how FMPro scripts work so system could be reconstructed or migrated to new version of FM Pro.
   • Current version of FM Pro used is v11.

Past "Next steps"

8/27/15

• Completed 7/7/2016, all 2 systems, INC000001709453. Was:
  • To do: Image TC-01 and TC-02 to files. When shall we do this, this semester? Alan had discussed maybe removing grade info before doing this.
• Not completed:
  • To do: Get file synchronization to work. (What I said last time: I think I'm close to getting that to work across all 3 systems, so we'll see if I'm accurate on that count.)

Historical info:

Prior defined "next step", from spring 2015:

• Do this work in early summer 1015. Thus, reconnect in mid-May to coordinate this upgrade, using information on this site.
