As project type
select either AceBackup archive
or AceBackup backup. The
Archive project type has
its own folder structure whereas the Backup
project type adopts the folder structure of the original path. In addition
to that, Backup projects recognize
modifications of the original location. This is why new files are automatically
added to the project at the next backup. This option is not possible for
Archive project types.
Then click Next, to go to the next step of the wizard.
Define the project
name and security settings.
The name AceBackup and the date
and time of the creation are by default displayed
as Project name. You can change
this name according to your wishes.
Select an encryption algorithm. You can choose between Rijndael, Blowfish and Triple-DES. A higher bit encryption is safer, but takes more time to encrypt. Normally, you use the Rijndael 128-bit encryption. If you do not wish to define an encryption select option No encryption.
If you have selected an encryption algorithm, enter a password to protect your data. AceBackup will prompt you to enter this password, whenever you try to restore your data from the backup media, or to open your project.
Then click the Next button.
Enter the path
for your backups. You can choose between local
directory or FTP server.
If you select FTP server
enter the following information:
Address - the host name of the FTP server (e.g. ftp.myserver.com).
Port - the FTP port.
Directory - the folder on the FTP server, where you
wish to store your data.
User - the login name.
Password - the password of your FTP connection.
Passive - mark this checkbox for a passive mode connection,
clear it for an active mode connection. Passive mode connection is only
necessarily required, if your network is protected by a firewall that
is based on a router, or if you use a proxy server.
Click the Settings button to change the FTP connection settings.
Click Next to go to the next step of the wizard.
You can now schedule a task for your backup. To do so, click the Edit button.
Choose the Task tab, click New and enter the desired time for the backup.
Click OK to verify the settings.
You are then prompted to enter a password. Enter the password of the Windows user account displayed. You can also enter another password that exists on your system. The backup process is then started at the selected time for the defined user account
If you click Next in the New project wizard, all the entries you made are displayed.
