- A SINGLE TYPE OF BACKUP -
- -------------------------
- SafeGard's database platform eliminates the need for separate
- Differential, Incremental and Full Backups.
-
- Each backup list that you create is contained on a single set
- of backup diskettes (or backup file for server backup). Each
- list may contain multiple versions of an individual file and
- the files may appear on other lists without conflict. Space
- released by changed files is reused automatically.
-
- SafeGard is also failsafe. You can interrupt the backup process
- at any time without fear of data loss. If your system crashes
- during a backup, just start SafeGard as soon as your up and
- running and it will complete the interrupted backup.
-
-
- INTEGRATED FILE MANAGER -
- -------------------------
- Consistent interface for all operations makes it easy to learn.
-
- Your backup lists are displayed as a drive you may manipulate
- very much like any other drive on your system.
-
- Restoring files or directories is just like a copy operation.
-
-
- MULTIPLE FILE VERSIONS AVAILABLE IN THE SAME BACKUP LIST -
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- Provides an effective paper trail to manage documents or entire
- projects.

- * OVERVIEW *
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- Backup -
- SafeGards database architecture keeps track of all your backup
- files and which diskettes they are on so all you have to do is
- print your LIST NAME and DISK NUMBER on the diskettes. You may
- have as many lists as you like with any selection of files even
- if they are already on another list.
-
- First open the drive that contains the files you want backed up.
-
- To make a quick backup just click and drag to select(highlight)
- the files(or directories) you want and then click on backup.
- (You can also select files by using the search commands).
-
- Alternatively build a backup list by selecting files and then
- marking them to add them to the list. Macros may also be used
- to select a group of files by criteria (then when new files are
- created that match the criteria they will automatically be
- added to that backup list). When your list is complete just
- click on backup.
-
- To update an existing list just reopen it and click on
- backup to update your backup diskettes. Remember SafeGard
- will reuse space on the disk set so have them ready (SafeGard
- will ask you for diskettes by their number).
-
- When you open a backup list for updating SafeGard also opens
- the original drive and cross references its databases to keep
- track of all the new, changed or deleted files. What you see
- is a combination of all the files on your hard disk and all the
- files that are currently backed up on the opened backup list.
- Note the difference in title color of backup list windows and
- the word <LIST> in the title.
-
- Backup selected files - [Backup] or Alt,B. or <Action><Backup>
- Mark selected files - [Mark] or Alt,m.
- Place macros - highlight insertion point, Alt,M.
- Start Backup or Update - [Backup] or Alt,B. or <Action><Backup>
- Modify list - Mark or unmark files or directories
- Add, Delete or Edit Macros.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- Restore -
-
- First open the LIST you want to restore files from. (If you
- open the list for restore only it will open faster). Your
- backup list appears as a virtual image of the drive that was
- backed up. Note the difference in title color of list windows
- and the word <LIST> in the title.
-
- Select the files you want to restore. This may be done either
- by click and drag or by searching. Then just click on restore
- and the files will be placed back into the same directory they
- were backed up from. (The directory tree will be recreated
- automatically).
-
- To restore files to another location, simply use the copy
- command just as you would when copying between drives. Note
- that if you want to CLICK AND DRAG them, you must also have the
- target drive open, even if it is the same as the original
- backup drive (i.e. you cannot copy to a backup list window).
-
- To restore an older version of a file, highlight the file you
- want, then open the history dialog and select the file version
- you require (You must have selected multiple versions for the
- file when it was originally added to your list).
-
-
- Open list - [Open] or Alt,F,O.
- Restore selection to original location - [Restore] or Ctrl+r.
- Restore selection to another location - Click & drag
- View version history of selected file - Click date field.
- Restore prior version - Double click on the
- desired version in the
- history dialog.
