  1. Known Issues
  ===============
  a. To install DataKeeper under Windows NT, Windows 2000, or 
  Windows XP, you must have administrator privileges.

  b. "Permission denied" errors may occur if you try to restore
  files to their original location when the original file exists
  and is open. Windows system files are often open and beyond
  your control.
    
  c. The directory tree will collapse back to the root directory
  when refreshing the list if you do not have the last folder in
  the expanded tree highlighted.
  
  d. Datakeeper can be uninstalled as you would uninstall other 
  programs. However, the uninstall process leaves all the backup 
  specification files (.DKS) and log files. To remove them, 
  complete a search by typing "*.DKS" in the Named text box. 
  When you remove DataKeeper, you can delete those files (they 
  are large and occupy a lot of space). If you use multiple 
  primary and substitute backup locations, they may contain 
  obsolete backup files that you may want to delete to reclaim 
  disk space.

    
  2. Interaction with other programs
  ==================================
  To prevent performance degradation of your system when
  monitoring, DataKeeper does two things:
      
  Delay write -- When a file is modified, DataKeeper delays
  making a backup for five seconds.  This prevents hard disk
  "thrashing" caused by applications that write groups of data
  to a file with many short pauses between them. If DataKeeper
  tried to copy the file immediately after every write, the copy
  would be in progress during the next write and the copying
  process would have to start over.
      
  File system load monitoring -- To avoid slowing down your
  system, DataKeeper monitors file system activity and waits for
  periods of inactivity to back up files. Simultaneously running
  programs that continuously scan the disk may cause DataKeeper
  to delay copying files for an excessive length of time.
      
  If you notice hard disk thrashing or suspect that an extended
  delayed write situation exists, you can stop monitoring in
  DataKeeper and it will report the number of files that are
  waiting to be backed up (if any).  If you consistently have a
  large number of files waiting to be backed up, especially when
  Windows is shutting down, try to determine what applications
  (such as disk optimizing tools and virus scanners) are
  conflicting with DataKeeper. You should consider scheduling
  them to run when you are not actively using the system.
