Overwrite


For file names that already exist in the target path one of the following possibilities can be selected:


Don't overwrite file (No)
Overwrite only older (Only older)
Rename file (Rename)
Overwrite file (Yes)

If "No" is used (default), an existing file on target won't be overwritten. SIEGFRIED BACKUP skips over the file. If overwrite only older file is selected, SIEGFRIED BACKUP checks the date of the existing file in the target path. If the file in the target path is older, the file will be overwritten. If the target file is newer the file is skipped.

"Rename" changes the name of the existing target file. A Suffix "
<.x>" is added. "<x>" being a number from 1 to n. The number depends on the count of existing copies in the target path. That means the first rename adds the suffix ".1", the second ".2", the third ".3", etc. The file of backup data is always restored to the original name and the existing target file is renamed.

If "Overwrite" is selected an existing file in the target path would be simply replaced.


Not available in the demo version!

As an additional security it is possible to activate "Ask" (default: no), if the overwrite mode is selected. If "Ask" is set to "Yes", SIEGFRIED BACKUP ask the user for a confirmation to overwrite a file. "Ok" confirms the overwrite, "No" skips over the file and "Cancel" aborts the entire restore job.
