Click to view the bigger pop-up imageAll your backups are snapshot images of your system. Your system is compared to the base image taken by system administrator and the files that have been removed, added or modified are noted and stored, if necessary.


The backup dialog gives you information about the base image.


You can have from one to five snapshot images, depending of the configuration defined by the system administrator (the image taking can be password protected or disabled completely by the system administrator). You snapshot images are numbered automatically. Each image is tagged with a date and a description you type in. It helps you to keep track of your images.


The backup is done over the network. The time for the backup depends of the operating system type, the size of the installation, the number of the modifications compared to the base image and the network settings. For your information, UCAST is the faster protocol which uses your hard disk as a cache. NetFS is a protocol that does not use your hard disk as cache and it is therefore somewhat slower. The system administrator has selected the appropriate setting for your system.


System snapshot images are stored in the order of their creation. When you have already taken the maximum number of system snapshots, the backup dialog will be automatically expanded. You can select one of the existing snapshot images to be overwritten with the new snapshot image. Only the system administrator can take a new base image.
