Enter a name for the backup job.
Select schedule to run backup from Not Scheduled, Immediate, Every Day, Every
Week, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 1st, 3rd, 2nd, 4th or Every 1st day/month.
Select the day or time to run the backup job.
Select the Backup Operation Mode from the following choice.
• Normal Backup
• Overwrite Backup (Append Backup)
• Overwrite Backup (Differential Backup)
* If you select Overwrite Backup (Differential Backup), any files which do not exist in
the source will be deleted without showing the confirmation screen for deletion.
Be careful not to delete the necessary data.
* All operation mode other than normal backup will overwrite all of the data to the
backup destination. Be careful not to delete the necessary data.
* Do not perform any file operations (such as rename or delete a file) in the Backup
Sources during the Backup. If you do so, the backup job may halt with error. In
such a case, after the error is completed, try to perform the backup again.
Following table shows the behavior during each operation mode.
The behavior will make a big difference whether or not selecting Create Target
Folder for Backup in Backup Options.
* The example here uses "/target" as Backup Destination Folder.
• If the data is backup to the USB hard drive, the "target" below will be displayed
as "usbdisk*".
The character * expresses 1 - 2 (number).
• If the data is backup to the TeraStation, the "target" below the shared folder
name of the backup source will be displayed.
• Backup Log is created under following name within the backup source folder.
backuplog (backup task number)_(backup starting time).txt
Example: If the date the backup is started on March 27, 2004, 19:55,
"backuplog1_200403271955.txt" is created.
* If the backup mode is set to Overwrite Backup (Differential Backup), data in the
backup destination may be deleted depending on the backup settings.
