How to start Stratesave as a Windows Service

This is useful, if you want regular backup on a computer where nobody logs in to start backup program. You can define Stratesave as a Service, which starts automatically when PC boots. Together with command line parameters, you can define regular daily backups, even when nobody logs in on PC, for example on a Windows server computer.

To install Stratesave as a Service, load the macro and run command Install Service... from Menu Special. This will run the Service installation wizard.

To uninstall the Service, use command Uninstall Service... from Menu Special.

Please note:

1. When backup program is run as a Windows Service, it is normally not visible. You can run Stratesave locally in Remote Control Backup-mode to control the Service.

2. It is best security policy to not make the Service visible and not allow it to interact with the desktop.

3. For network backups, if the backup server computer is not member of a domain, install the Service under Administrator account, not SYSTEM. The SYSTEM of non-domain computers account cannot access the network.
