Are you Prepared for the Unexpected ?? - If your computer unexpectedly stopped working, what would you do? Is Your Data Secure? Is Your Backup Working? How Much Would It Cost to Reproduce Your Data?
Advanced Configuration Options
The setup instructions are intended to provide you with
suggested settings that will meet the needs of most users. You may need to
change certain options to meet your specific needs. Below is a collection of
commonly used advanced configuration options.
Run the program (Start -> Programs -> NovaNet-Web Backup)
From the top menu, select View -> Options -> Backup
On the General tab:
Clear the archive flag:
View menu -> Options -> Backup -> General tab
If you have a tape backup system that is also
backing up the selected data you may not want this
software to clear the archive flags (if the tape
system is set for incrimental or differential
backups it may skip desired files). In this case,
uncheck Clear the archive flag on files that
are backed up.
Note: The above configuration assumes that your
internet data backup will complete before the tape
backup starts. Depending on the size of your data,
you should schedule your internet backup to run one
or more hours before your tape backup starts.
If you run "full backups" with your tape system,
then you do not need to uncheck the Clear Archive
Flag box.
Deselecting this option will result in transmitting
previously stored and unchanged files to the remote
server multiple times. Generally we do not recommend
deselecting this option because it results in
backing up files multiple times.
Send deleted file lists:
View menu -> Options -> Backup -> General tab
Check Send deleted file lists to the Backup
Server if you want files that you
subsequently remove from the backup set to be
immediately deleted from the remote Backup Server.
Otherwise, the files will be removed when your
backup time window (e.g., one month) passes.
Selecting this option can help to reduce the amount
of file storage used on the remote Backup Server;
however, it also means that you won't be
able to recover files that were deleted by accident.
*Note: We recommend NOT selecting the "Send
deleted file lists to the Backup Server" option as
it may result in the inability to recover
accidentally deleted files.
Check Never notify me of failed
events if you do not want notification
windows to pop up when you log in.
*Note: You will receive notification if your
system does not complete a successful backup within
a 7 day period.
On the Mail tab:
Email Notification: View menu -> Options -> Backup -> Mail tab Check Send mail after a backup operation
has completed to receive an e-mail of backup status.
Enter your mail server address and e-mail address in
the boxes provided.
