Using Setting Files

When you perform a backup, a setting files stores the type of files and folders backed up, where the files are backed up, and so on. You can have many different setting files, each corresponding to a different type of backup.

Suppose you just finished a backup to floppy disks. (If you did not, then perhaps do such a backup so that it will be easier to follow the descriptions below.) You have a setting file saved. Assume that you used the default name, EasyBackup.sav.

When you start EasyOffice Backup, you will have the option to back up or restore files. Choose Backup files.

To use a setting file, check off Load settings from 'setting file'.  A window will appear, where you can select the setting file you want to use (c:\EasyBackup\EasyBackup.sav in the example above). Instead of going through all the many steps of specifying the backup procedure to follow, the entire backup will be performed automatically, as specified by this setting file. (If you want the previous backup settings loaded into your current backup session, but do not want the backup to occur automatically, then check off Load in settings, but don't automatically backup or restore.) If this is your first time using EasyOffice Backup, then there will be no setting files. Select
