Discussion

%SYN_GETSTATE enables you to determine the current backup mode. If channel is passed, it indicates that the caller is requesting the current backup mode for the server machine on which the specified channel is open.

If %SYN_GETSTATE is run from a Synergy/DE Client installation, backup_mode is returned with a value of 4 (disabled), regardless of the backup mode on the shared machine.
