Features
Congratulations on choosing the most powerful and effective backup software available
on the market today! BounceBack has the following key features:
!
! Initial Backup
. The BounceBack installation default Backup Set is to backup the
entire system drive, which is created as you install BounceBack.
!
! Backup Sets
. The Settings feature allows you to create and modify Backup Sets.
Each Backup Set allows you to specify a unique set of backup characteristics such a
data selection, scheduling, and power down.
!
! Data Selection
. Data for backup is selectable by drive, folder, file or file type.
!
! Scheduling
. Backups may be automated by scheduling them. Schedules can be
specified by time and date, for one-time events, or on a daily or monthly basis.
!
! Power Down
. Your computer can be set to power down on completion of backup.
!
! Backup
. Once you have created one or more Backup Sets, the Backup feature allows
you to select and run a Backup Set at any time.
!
! QuickRestore
. This feature restores backed up files, reports file status and allows
files to be purged from the backup. Files can be restored to their origin location or
redirected to another location.
!
! Native File Format
. Backups are in ‘native file format.’ This means that backed up
data is always available, there is no special software needed to view files or data,
and files can be restored in seconds by drag and drop or by using QuickRestore.
!
! Options
. This feature allows you to specify global backup and device options.
!
! Bootable Backup
. Typically, computers boot from an internal hard disk. However, if
the hard disk is damaged (for example, by a software virus
or by being physical
damaged), you can replace the damaged drive with the bootable backup device drive
and boot the computer, (assuming you created a bootable disk in advance of the
problem). This feature is only available in BounceBack Professional with FireWire
and USB external drives. (USB drives only supported on Intel Processors.)
!
! Internal Backup
. BounceBack supports the use of internal hard drives as backup
devices.
!
! Data Management
. Supports backup drive data management, when files are no
longer needed on the backup hard drive they can be reviewed and purged from the
backup drive.
!
! Auto Launch
. Any time you connect an external designated backup device to your
computer; this feature scans your system disk for new or modified files and
automatically backs them up to the backup device, FireWire or USB.
!
! Security
. Supports external FireWire hard drives.
