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.
