Continuous Backup
Continuous Backup is a feature providing backup for selective data whenever change is made. Depending on the option selected, every version of a file is backed up close to real time.
!
Continuous Backup feature is only supported on Windows platform.
To enable continuous backup:
- Slide the switch to the right hand side to turn on continuous backup.
- Select from "Define how often backup run" the time interval to run the continuous backup.
- Select from "Only applies to files smaller than" the file size to backup files smaller than the defined size.
- Click [Save] to save the settings.
!
After the Continuous Backup feature is enabled, you are required to perform a FULL BACKUP of the backup set. This is to ensure all files from the backup source are uploaded to the backup destination(s), as Continuous backup will only backup updated files after a full backup is performed.
- Clicking on the Backup Now button after you have created a backup set will initiate a full backup immediately. If you have not done so, you can go back to the Backup icon on the main interface and then look for the desired backup set to initiate a full backup later.
- If you do not wish to perform a full backup manually, you can consider configuring a one off scheduled backup job.
- If the continuous backup feature is enabled and running before a full backup is performed, you should perform a full backup as soon as possible. The continuous backup data that has been uploaded before the initial full backup will not be removed.
