The main window of Office Backup is divided into three panes (Views).

 

Items View (the upper pane)

 

This view displays items, their statuses and types, and the related information.

 

 

Item name column: Displays the item names.

Item type column: Shows the item type: Backup, Restore or Synchronize.

Last run time column: Shows the date and time when the last operation has been performed.

Next run time column: Shows the date and time when the next operation will be performed.

Progress column: Shows the progress of the current operation.

Status column: Shows the operation status:

Success: the operation has been completed successfully;

Success: the scheduled operation has been completed successfully;

Error: the operation has been terminated with an error;

Error: the scheduled operation has been terminated with an error;

Scheduled: the program is waiting to execute a scheduled operation;

Idle: the item is not scheduled and not running;

Running: the program is either performing an operation or refreshing;

Stopped: the operation was stopped by the user.

Files View (the middle pane)

 

This view displays all the files and folders in the selected item, their statuses and properties.

 

 

File name: Displays names and paths for files/folders in the selected item.

Status: Shows the current status of a file/folder. Files with different statuses are shown with different colors. There can be the following file statuses:

Identical: The original files and their backup copies are identical, i.e. the file in the source folder is identical to the corresponding file in the destination folder.

 

Different: The file in the source folder is different from the corresponding file in the destination folder. This means that, after the last operation, either a file in the source folder or a file in the destination folder has been changed.

 

Missing in destination: The file exists in the source folder but does not exist in the destination folder.

 

Missing on local: There is no file in the source folder corresponding to the file in the destination folder. The possible reason is that the file has been removed from the source folder. To restore such a file, use the restore operation. Select the file with the mouse pointer and press the "Restore" button either from the Actions menu or from the Files View context menu.

 

Excluded: The file was excluded by the user from the list of files to be processed and the program ignores it. For details on the file exclusion, see Specify Backup Set.

 

You can perform inclusion/exclusion of files through the Files View context menu. Right-click on the file and use the Include files/Exclude files command from the menu.

Original Size: Shows the size of a file in the source folder.

Stored Size: Shows the size of the corresponding file in the destination folder.

Original time: Shows the last time when file in the source folder has been modified.

Stored time: Shows the last time when file in the destination folder has been modified.

 

You can perform operations (backup, restoration, synchronization) with the selected files through the Files View context menu.

 

All files in a new item are displayed in Files View with "Unknown" status. To see their actual statuses, press the "Refresh" button   . Also use this button to update the list of files in this view.

 

Log View (the lower pane)

 

This view shows all events occurred during a backup, a restoration or a synchronization. The pane displays the log messages related only to the selected item, for example:

 

STATUS:>            Uploading...

STATUS:>     Backing up file "D:\Program Files\NavNT\AMS2\Amslib.dl_"...

STATUS:>            Copying to the temporary folder...

STATUS:>            Encoding...
