Start backup |
A click on "Start backup..."
opens the start window of the backup procedure in which the title
of the backup can be defined. It's important to use a unique
title. The title is shown in the "Restore", "JobQueue"
and "Report" windows. SIEGFRIED BACKUP will define the
title as "- no title -" if the title is
left undefined.
Not available in the
demo version!
Increased security can be obtained for a backup by designating a
password. The password is used to access the data during later restoration
and as a keyword to crypt the backup data.
Another special feature useful for creating
more than one backup simultaneously is the "Submit Job on
hold" setting. The backup is kept "on hold" when
this setting is activated instead of starting the backup
immediately after clicking the "Ok" button. The backup
job is then added to the job queue with the status "Pause",
which means that the backup job must be manually activated (using
the "Start" or "Continue" in the "JobQueue"
window) instead of starting automatically. For a normal backup
"Submit job on hold" isn't neccessary.
The "Ok" button starts the backup. All settings are
passed on to the job queue and the backup starts. A status window
informs the user of the progress of the backup job.
