RBS Server Tester InstructionsFill in the blanks on the right. This web page will log into your RBS Server like a regular RBS Client, and attempt to do a backup and restore. It will report any errors it finds. Since this system tests your RBS Server from outside your own network using a verified perfect Internet connection, router, and firewall setup at Remote Backup Systems, it fully verifies that your Server is set up properly. This is good for isolating possible problems with your Clients communicating with your Server, and for testing your Server installation. The Server Tester first tests your Server Function. It verifies that your Server is properly installed, that it is using the correct port, that it can be contacted from the Internet, that it can read and write to its hard drive, that NT permissions are properly set, and that the account you test is correctly set up. To do this, the Server Tester actually does a real backup and restore to your Server. If the Server Function tests pass, your Server is properly installed and operating.
The Server Tester then tests your Router, Firewall, and Internet Function. If this test fails, you should look for problems with your Internet Connection, your Router, or your Firewall. Start out with the Knowledge Library on our main web site.
