Creating and setting up sections

Backupper allows you to backup data automatically on schedule. For every set of data to include in the backup Backupper creates a separate section. A section contains backup parameters and a collection of backups for the specified data set.

You can create several sections for the same data set to backup the data on different schedules.

Start Manager to create and set up section options.

To create a new section you should select "Sections - Create Section" in the Manager main menu. This starts the Section creation wizard which helps you to set up new section parameters. The Wizard contains several pages; after setting up all neccessary parameters press "Next" to proceed to the next page.

• First wizard page allows to select full or simple mode of section creation. Full mode allows to set all parameters while the simple one provides only basic settings..
• The second page asks you for the section name. The name will affect backup names in the section so you should choose the name in order to identify the backups easily. The name must be unique: you cannot enter existing section, group or profile name.
• The third page contains file selection rules. See "Files".
• The next "Backups" page sets the backup parameters: section backup directory, replica directories, normal or differential backup, backup collection size.
• "Schedule" page allows to set schedule for automatic section backup.
• "Options" page specifies parameters of the backup.
• "Compression" page is displayed if the full mode was selected on the first page. You can set properties of ZIP-files created by Backupper including comment, compression ratio and password.
• "Notifications" and "Mail transports" are displayed if the full mode was selected on the first page. You can set up notifications (by mail, by Windows popup or EventLog) sent by Engine.
• "Finish" is the last page of the wizard. To apply all properties set on the previous pages press "ОК".
