Effective Task Scheduling and Data Backup Strategies

Accessing Router via LAN

Similar to the previous method, but without a modem. No browser settings are needed.

The router acts as a computer on the network, with each client computer using the gateway router address.

Scheduling Tasks

Automate tasks and procedures such as backups, disk cleanup, and monthly billing (e.g., on the 30th of each month).

Task Scheduler Locations:

  • Windows XP: Control Panel, Scheduled Tasks.
  • XP, Vista, and 7: Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Scheduled Tasks.

Distributed Object Computing Technologies: DCOM, CORBA, Java EE, and .NET

DCOM

Runs on Object Remote Procedure Call (ORPC) protocol.

The Service Control Manager (SCM) locates object implementations based on Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) and Class ID (CLSID).

Client-side stub: Proxy.

Server-side stub: Stub.

CORBA

Relies on Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP).

Object Request Broker (ORB) and Dynamic Skeleton Interface (DSI) handle object location and client invocation.

Client-side stub: Proxy or stub.

Server-side stub: Skeleton.

Java EE

Developed by Oracle (formerly Sun Microsystems)
