The Backup utility helps you protect your valuable data from accidental
loss if your system experiences hardware or storage media failure. For example,
you can use dfg BackUp to store the data on your hard disk in compressed
archives on another storage device.
dfg BackUp is designed to backup your
data files using the standard Zip file format, allowing backup files to be
viewed and restored with most zip file utilities. With this
advanced technology you are saving a lot of storage space (and money). The backup
storage medium can be a logical drive such as your hard drive, or a separate
storage device such as a removable disk, or an entire library of disks or tapes
organized into a media pool. If the original data on your hard disk is
accidentally erased or overwritten, or becomes inaccessible because of a hard
disk malfunction, you can easily restore the data from the archived copy to your
hard disk or any other disk you can access.

|
The fastest award winning professional back up and restore
solution for nearly all backup medias - HD, ZIP, LAN, FTP, CD R/RW, etc. It is
the most effective and fastest you can get today. Unlimited backup profiles are
supported. dfg BackUp can be configured to start the backup automatically
(powerful scheduler using command line options (switches) and to exit when the
backup is finished. The files or complete directories will be synchronized or
copied to a backup directory (local, network, FTP or eMail sever, etc.) and
stored in ZIP compatible archives using a very fast and secure compression and
encryption procedure. For a high security level an archive encryption is also
supported. With this utility a version tracking of files and documents can be
easily done as well. You can optionally limit the number of files or/and limit
the size of the ZIP archive (to fit to the size of the backup media). Multi
backup medias (ZIP, CD-R, CD-RW, etc.) are supported. With the new "find"
function you can search for backup files within a collection of backup ZIP
archives. We recommend a daily backup of all changed files triggered by the A_ShutDown
utility before shut down or log off your computer. |

3. Description of program
usage and options
|
|
Make a copy of any Remote Storage data and any data stored in mounted drives.
Schedule regular backups to keep your archived data up-to-date. To schedule
dfg BackUp we recommend to use
A_ShutDown - a professional shut down
and scheduling utility.
You can use dfg BackUp to back up and restore data on either file allocation table (FAT)
or NTFS file system volumes. However, if you have backed up data from an NTFS
volume used in Windows NT,2000,XP, it is recommended that you restore the data to
the same or another NTFS volume.
dfg BackUp is designed to backup your
data files using the standard Zip file format, allowing backup files to be
viewed and restored with most zip file utilities.
dfg BackUp distributes the files to be backed up
in several stand alone Zip files of a size fitting a standard writable CD (CD-R)
or a size chosen by the user. Therefore it can backup your files to
logical drives such as your hard disks,
network drives, ZIP drives, JAZ, SyQuest, writable CD (CD-R), and most other
removable medias.
With Adaptec's Direct CD you can also backup direct to
Rewritable CD's (CD-RW).
Most of the functions,
actions and options of the program are self-explanatory or have already been
mentioned in the previous chapter. The user interface has been designed for easy
and safe use. Tooltips are available for all functions.
