Item
To have Office Backup operate with your data, you need to
create one or several items. The items are listed in the top view of the main program
window. For each item you need to specify the following:
-
Item name;
-
Operation type
(backup, restore, synchronize);
-
Folders
and files to process;
-
Backup / restore locations;
-
Compression, encryption and other options;
-
Scheduling - when and how often to backup your
data;
-
Advanced options.
You can create new items, delete them and
modify their properties as follows:
Create new item
You can easily create
a
new item
with the help of the Office Backup "New Item Wizard".
Click the "New Item"
button
 on the program toolbar to open the Wizard and
follow its instructions.
Once the item is created, it will be
displayed in the top view (The Items
View) of the program window. All the files and folders included in the
selected item will be
displayed in the middle view (The Files
View) of the program window.
All the files in a new item are shown with the "Unknown" status. Click
the "Refresh" button
 to see their actual statuses.
|
Note:
Once youve created a Backup item, the program will create the
corresponding index file (backup.hbi or spanXXXX.hbi in case of backup
on CD, where XXXX is a hexadecimal number of span), containing information about the files
included in this item. The index files are stored along
with the backup files. They are necessary to perform restoration
and synchronization, so be careful with these files: it is not
recommended to modify them manually. You can create a new
Restore
item by double-clicking an index file in the Windows Explorer. |
Modify
item
You can view and modify the
item properties (such as its name, the initial data set etc.) any time you wish. Select the
required item in the Items View and press the
"Properties" button
 . The "Properties"
dialog will appear.
Choose the tab with the item properties you wish to modify. For details, see the
Item Properties topic.
Delete item
If you want to delete an item, select
it in the Items View and click the
"Delete" button  on the program toolbar.
|
Note: If you delete an
item, your files and folders will remain in their original location
and their backup location. |
