BACKUP

Working with definitions

To create a new backup definition:

1. Click the New icon on the tool bar or select File > New from the menu.
2. Enter a name for your new definition and click OK.
3. The right hand directory tree will appear in preparation for data selection as described in selecting data for backup.
4. Once data selection has been made either click the Save icon from the toolbar or select File > Save from the menu in order to save the backup definition.

To open a backup definition for editing:

1. Select the required backup definition in the left hand pane of the backup window by left clicking on any detail within the definition so that it is highlighted.
2. The information relating to that backup definition will now be available for editing. For example, you may want to add or remove a folder as described in selecting data for backup or change the time or frequency of a backup, as described in scheduling a backup

To save a backup definition using a different name:

1. Select the required backup definition in the left hand pane of the backup window by left clicking on any detail within the definition so that it is highlighted.
2. Select File > Save As from the menu.
3. The "Save As" dialogue box will appear prompting you to enter a new definition name.
4. Enter a new name and click OK.
5. The backup definition has now been saved with the newly selected name and appears as the last entry in the backup definition table.
6. The definition can now be edited as described above.

To remove a backup definition and associated data:

1. Select the required backup definition in the left hand pane of the backup window by left clicking on any detail within the definition so that it is highlighted.
2. Click the Delete icon on the tool bar or select File > Delete from software from the menu bar.

Note 1: Deleting a backup set in the backup window only deletes it from the software and not from the our servers. To delete a backup definition from our servers, highlight the definition within the left hand restore window and select File > Delete from server.

Note 2: If you are installing the same account on more than one machine then please ensure that you call each definition a different name to avoid any conflicts. For example if you have the backup software installed on your home computer and laptop and you want to backup the my documents folder you could call the definition "my documents" on the home computer and "my laptop documents" on your laptop. You should also not schedule definitions to run at the same time as each other from the same account. See scheduling a backup for further information.
