Features
Automatic backup
The automatic backup function (view page 27) provides optimal security for
your data
. By default all drives integrated into the computer system are backed
up every week. Regular work stages are saved and can be restored later if
required.
After the first full backup only data that has been changed since the last
backup will be backed up in order to save storage space.
Restore function
No backup program is complete unless it includes a restore function in order to
be prepared for the worst case scenario of data loss. MAGIX PC Backup MX
offers a convenient way of browsing through different backup stages and
comparing them. The backed up files are listed in the menu item "Restore"
(view page 39) and can be restored directly.
Real-time backup
Irrespective of the weekly backups, you can monitor certain folders and/or
files. MAGIX PC Backup MX automatically saves the latest version of these
folders/files after each change, without you having to do anything.
Under "Live & Online backup" > go to "Live backup" (view page 47) and specify
which folders/files are to be monitored; then selec
t the storage location for the
additional backup and start monitoring. The current version of these
folders/files will be saved to the storage medium automatically after each
change.
MAGIX WebDisk
Play it safe and save your most important files online to be independent of
vulnerable hardware. You can access MAGIX WebDisk straight from MAGIX PC
Backup MX. 2 GB of storage space where you can save your files are included
for free. If this is not enough, you can expand it. You'll find all important
functions related to this topic in the "Live & Online backup" (view page 41)
section.
Your monitoring list will continue to be
updated online, even if MAGIX PC
Backup MX has not been started. The symbol (tray) is displayed in the taskbar
