Backup - ArkBackup Home works with the
task based concept. With ArkBackup, you need to:
- At first, create a new task.
Task means a single backup job. E.g. backup some local files or folders
on your disk, or backup some keys in Windows Registry, etc.
- Then you can set the run schedule for newly created task.
ArkBackup
Home provides a flexible scheduler so that you can specify
when to backup for a task.
- At any time, you can also run a task immediately.
* When a
task is running, you can't close ArkBackup Home
directly. The running tasks must be terminated firstly.
* You can run multiple
tasks at the same time.
- When a task finishes, ArkBackup will generate a report
and pop up a notification message. And the backup archive file will be
generated and saved at the location you specified.
In backup archive file, all of your data are organized by "timing
catalog" and "disk trees". This make it easier to find something for
you.
Restore - When restoring, you can open the backup archive file with
ArkBackup Home. In the viewer, you can see the timing catalog and the disk
trees under it. There will be multiple timing catalogs if you set the Backup
Type as "Incremental" for the task.
- the incremental backup backs up the whole sources at the first time,
and then only backs up the changed files since last backup. This can
decrease the amount of backup time obviously. One source file can be
backed up time after time if it was modified before next backup. Then it
will has multiple "versions" in the backup archive. Each "version" of
the file is backed up in different timing catalog. This mean you can get
any "version" of this source file from the backup archive file if you
want.
ArkBackup allows you restore data in four modes:
- Full restore - Restore all up-to-date data from the archive file
- Timing catalog restore - Restore the data of a specified timing
catalog
- Tree restore - Restore the data of a specified tree under a timing
catalog
- Single item (file or registry key) restore - Restore a selected item
only
