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.
backuplong (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.
