Start restore |
A click on "Start restore..." opens the start window of
the restoration procedure in which the title of the restoration
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.
Increased security can be obtained for a backup by designating a
password.
This feature is not
available in the demo version of SIEGFRIED BACKUP.
If a backup is locked with a password, then the
correct password has to be repeated in order to restore the
backup. A line containing two columns appears in the password
table for every locked backup. The first column contains the
title and date of the backup. The password must be inserted in
the second column.
Another special feature useful for creating
more than one restoration simultaneously is the "Submit Job
on hold" setting. The restoration is kept "on hold"
when this setting is activated instead of starting immediately
after clicking the "Ok" button. The restoration is then
added to the job
queue with the status "Pause", which means that the
restoration must be manually activated (using the "Start"
or "Continue" in the "JobQueue" window)
instead of starting automatically.
For a normal restoration "Submit job on hold" isn't
neccessary. The "Ok" button starts the restoration. All
settings are passed on to the job queue and the restoration
starts. A status window informs the user of the progress of the
restoration.
