Start Restore |
When all settings for a backup are completed, the job can be
started. A click of "Start Restore"
opens the start window. Here a title and password(s) can be
entered for the job.
The title is needed to identify the job later on in the JobQueue,
Status and Report window. Use a unique title (i.e. "Complete
restore of BeOS" or "Restore 'home' folder". The
length of the title should not exceed. 60 characters.
Not available in the demo
version!
If one or more of the backups that should be restored are
protected by password, then all necessary passwords must be
entered in the password table. The first column of the table
shows the title of the protected backup. In the second column the
appropriate password for each backup must be entered.
One more setting in the start
window is "Submit Job on hold". This
option is for users who want to create more than one job at a
time. When the check box is activated, the job is set to the
state "Pause" in the job queue right
after the job is submitted. That means the job starts only when
the user starts the job manualy in the JobQueue Window (by using
"Start" or "Continue").
If all settings are completed, the job can be submitted by
clicking "Ok". "Cancel"
discards the modified settings in the start window and SIEGFRIED
BACKUP uses the old settings. The same results when the user
closes the window by using the close button or the <ESC>
key. If the job is started with "OK",
it is submitted to the job queue and set to the "Waiting"
state. That means the job is waiting to start. The job starts
when the start time and date is reached. The state of the job
changes from "Waiting" to "Running"
and the restore job is started. For information about the
progress of the job, a "Running Job" window is opened.
The "Running Job" window shows the
number of files to restore, speed, title, etc., for every running
job.
The settings of the job, warnings, errors, information messages and all processed files, directories,
symlinks and volumes are recorded in the report section of SIEGFRIED BACKUP. If an error occurs
during restoration, the reason can be found recorded in the report section. To get the report click on the
report button of the tool bar and double click the report title of the job.
If the backup was splitt over more then one removable media (ZIP, MO, streamer cartridge, ...) then
SIEGFRIED BACKUP asks for the needed medias. The request window shows the title of the backup
and the needed media number. The change requester has three buttons for continuation:
Continue: if the media is inserted (and mounted) the job continues working. If a wrong media is
inserted, SIEGFRIED BACKUP asks again for the correct media.
Abort: the running job will be aborted. If a repeat interval is set the new start time is
calculated and the job is set to the "Waiting" state in the job queue. If no repeat
interval is set the job is removed from the job queue. The "Abort" button of the change requester
is like the "Abort" button of the JobQueue window.
Delete: the running job will be cancelled. The job is removed from the job queue. The
"Delete" button of the change requester is like the "Delete" button of the JobQueue window.
Notice: for image backups there is (currently) no automatic mounting of the inserted media. The
user has to mount the media by hand. As an alternative the automount feature of BeOS can be used.
