Click on 'Create A New Schedule'

 

Enter a name for your backup. I can be anything you wish, then click 'Next'

 

Click the plus sign next to (local) and next to your drives.
Check the files and/or folders you want backed up and click 'Next'

 

Click the 'Add....' Button

Under 'Host:'' type in the address you received in your email
Under 'Port', enter 2430
Under 'Login' and 'Password', enter the username and passwords provided in the email we sent you.
Click 'OK'

Click 'OK'

Click the 'Encryption method' Drop down and choose your level of encryption. Blowfish 64-bit is not as strong but will allow for faster backups. AES 256-bit is the highest level of encryption, but will slow down your backups a little more.

Under Method of transfer, you will see 4 choices.
Block Level Backup (Recommended)- This method is the most efficient and will require no space on your local Hard Drive. Each file is divided into 256KB chunks, which means, after your initial backup, if you change a line in a Text document that is 2MB, only the 256KB chunk the line was in will be backed up in your next backup. If that line spanned 2 chunks, it will backup 512KB.
The positive thing with Block Level Backup is that it uses no space on your local Hard Drive.
The negative is that the minimum amount backed up for each file that was changed is 256KB.

Bit Level Backup - This method requires as much space on your Hard Drive as you are backing up. In other words, if you are backing up 10GB to us, you will need 10GB of space on your local Hard Drive.
Each file is divided up in 1bit chunks, which means that, after your initial backup, if you change a line of text in a 2MB text document, it will only backup that line, which could be only 10KB.
The positive thing with Bit Level Backup is that it only backs up the changes of each file, with no extra space used, making reoccuring backups much faster, and using less space on our servers.
The negative is that you will need as much space on your local Hard Drive as space that you are using on our servers. You can choose an external Hard Drive as well, but if space locally is an issue, this is not a good solution.

Statistical Block Level Backup - This will not backup anything to our server. This is just a test mode to see how long backups would take using Block Level Backup.

Statistical Bit Level Backup - Same as above, but for Bit Level Backups.

Once that is done, Click the 'Test' Button

It should show connected successfully. Click 'OK'

 

In the 'Keep only xx last versions on server', enter the number of version of each documents in your backups you want to keep.
In other words, If save a document and make changes to it the next day, assuming you do a daily backup,
the software will save those changes and that will be considered version 2.
When you make your 6th change, (assuming you changed it once every day), the first version of the document will be deleted, but you will have versions 2 through 6.
Keep in mind that versions are only determined by the frequency of your backups. In other words, if you have your backups schedule to run once a day, but made changes 6 times to a document in one day, it will only backup the last changes you made before schedule runs. You will not be able to restore the others, since the software did not run a backup between those changes.

When done, Click 'Next'

 

If you want to be emailed when the software backs up, or fails, click the 'Add' button.

In 'SMTP server' enter the SMPT server provided to you by your internet company. This is the same you used in Outlook, Outlook Express, or Thunderbird under the SMTP server setting.

In 'Email address to send from' pick an email address you want those emails to show this report is coming from.

If your SMTP server requires authentication, check the 'My Server requires authentication' box, and enter the same username and password you use to send email with. These should be the same as what you use in your email client. 99% of the time, this box does NOT need to be checked.

Click 'Add'

 

In 'Email To:', type in as many recepients as you wish who you want to receive those reports. If more than one, separate them with a comma.

Check the boxes to choose what reports will be emailed.
