File Backup

5. If you want to search for specific files in order to add them to the backup or exclude them

from the backup, then execute a file search.

Advantage of the file search option

The advantage of the file search option, in addition to specific searches, is the

fact that files that have been excluded through filters can still be added to the

backup.

 You have selected files to back up. Now proceed with the file backup by clicking the

Start File Backup button and specifying the backup target.

4.2 Backup Summary

The backup summary is useful when you intend to update a file backup and want to know

first if there have been any changes (as well as what their extent is) since the last backup.

When you select an existing backup, the backup summary tells you whether or not there are

any changes, how many folders and files have been removed, and how many files have

been changed.

In order to show a backup summary, follow the procedure below:

1. Click the File Backup menu icon.

 The File Backup screen appears.

2. Click the button.

 The Open Backup window opens.

In the Open Backup window all backups are displayed. However you can only

select file backups.

3. Select the desired file backup and click the Open button.

 The Backup Summary window opens.
