How To Use This Backup Folder To Backup Multiple Folders?
Creating a back up of folders, and that too of only the desired files, is very easy with this freeware. This backup softwaer gives you enough options to set the backup specifications. Simply click on Add New Backup button under the File Menu. This opens a new window to give backup specifications.
Simply add the source and destination folders by using the two Browse buttons at the top. Now to add specification about “which files to skip” click on Details button corresponding to “Want to backup” label and then simply click on files that you want skip.
To add more advanced backup specifications, click on Add button present on this new sub-window. This basically adds copying rules, like: include or exclude only those files or folders which are hidden, not hidden, archived, system, temporary, compressed, not compressed, or contain certain text, etc.
You can also schedule the freeware to auto create a backup of folders in real-time when the contents of source folder are modified, or after certain time interval. To do that simply select Continously option corresponding to “When to backup”.
You can further gives some more backup specifications, like: how to detect changes between source folder contents and destination folder contents, which copying technique should the freeware use, what to do with destination folder’s contents when source folder’s contents are deleted, and some more options present inside More Options field.
The freeware makes use of Delta Copying feature, which actually scans the source folder for changes, and copies only the modified ones. Also, for detecting the changes it uses a technique, where it takes snapshots of destination folder contents on every run, and compares the contents of source directory with contents of destination directory.
