 All
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.
