From Covecube - Wiki

You should prepare your server to collect memory dumps and send them to StableBit for examination.

Prepare to collect system crash data

  1. Log in as Administrator with Remote Desktop to your server.
  2. Key in [Start/Windows] + [Break] on the keyboad to bring up system properties.
  3. Click Advanced System Settings on the left.

Submit a crash dump

If you experience a system crash while using the StableBit DrivePool, please submit a crash dump.

Locate the MEMORY.DMP file in your C:\Windows folder on the server and upload it using the widget below.

Click here to submit files for StableBit DrivePool 1.X with Dropbox (you don't need an account with Dropbox)

Click here to submit files for StableBit DrivePool 2.X with Dropbox (you don't need an account with Dropbox)

Dumps are only used to fix bugs in StableBit DrivePool and for no other purpose.

The dump files are extremely large and may take a while to upload. Do not stop until you see a message indicating success.

Open a support contact thread (optional)

We get notified of dump submissions automatically. If you'd like, you can open a contact thread at http://stablebit.com/contact.
