-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= LTI SafeGard - QUICK REFERENCE -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 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 in the title. Backup selected files - [Backup] or Alt,B. or Mark selected files - [Mark] or Alt,m. Place macros - highlight insertion point, Alt,M. Start Backup or Update - [Backup] or Alt,B. or 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 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. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * LTI SafeGard - Command Reference * -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= For Help - Press F1 at any time.
