The New project wizard helps you to create a new AceBackup project. Click the Next button to follow the wizard steps.
Select the project type: AceBackup archive or AceBackup backup. Use the first one for encrypted confidential files and the second for regular backups.
Enter the project name into the Project name box.
If you are storing confidential data, you can encrypt your data using one of the five encryption methods. Select an encryption method from the Encryption drop-down list and enter a password for encryption. AceBackup will prompt you to enter this password, whenever you try to restore your data from the backup volume.
HINT: When choosing an encryption method you can define the security and encryption time. A higher bit encryption is safer, but takes more time to encrypt. Normally, you use the Rijndael 128-bit encryption. For higher security you can use a higher bit encryption.
Mark the Hide checkbox to hide the password. Mark the Remember checkbox, if you do not want to enter the password every time you open the project.
Define the location of your backups. Click the Add button to indicate a new volume or a new path. In the following dialog box in the System field, you can select between Local directory or LAN drive and FTP server. By clicking the Settings button you can change the settings.
You can configure AceBackup to perform operations such as downloading or uploading data according to a schedule. To add, edit or remove a scheduled task, click the Edit button. For more information, refer to the Task scheduling section.
Moreover, you can indicate a batch file you have written which is supposed for example to exit the running server application. Indicate the path of this file here. Select the batch file which is supposed to run the server application again.
On the last page of the New project wizard, you can choose, to make the file name anonymous. Just check option Automatically make anonymous file names on volume.
