This editor is used to
perform another complex BackUpTime action - to archive your data (to a Zip archive).
As
you can see from picture above, the editor window consists of two lists,
controls to edit them and a few options. Let's have a closer look at this
window, top to bottom. The top list includes folders to be archived.
BackUpTime works with folders not files. On the left of the list there are
some list modifying controls:
Notice : All folder options can be accessed via the list
context menu.
The bottom list displays the destination folders to store the
archived data in. BackUpTime will store a copy of the archived data in EVERY
FOLDER of the bottom list. Use the Folder Editor to adjust the folders settings. You can specify whether to copy
only the contents of the folder (the folder itself won't be created in
the destination folders) and whether to include subdirectories or not. That
is, BackUpTime will create identical copies of the archived data specified
in the top list in every folder specified in the bottom list. Here
is a description of the controls on the left of the bottom
list:
| Button |
Description |
 |
Add a new folder to the list. |
 |
Add a new dynamic
folder to the list. |
 |
Change the selected folder
settings (by default, clicking this button brings up the folder-specific
settings editor; if this is a regular folder you will be suggested
to choose another one).
If you click this folder, while pressing the SHIFT button,
the folder settings editor will appear, although, it is of little use here. |
 |
Remove the selected folder from the list (it is not physically deleted
from your hard drive). |
Notice : All folder options can be accessed via the list
context menu.
Zip archive file name - Here you
specify a name for the archive. The name can include strftime
codes which are described in detail here. These
codes, for example, allow you to include the current date or time in the
archive name.
Zip archive name preview - This field
shows you how the name of the archive will look like for the current date
and time.
Alias - Specify a name here or keep the default
one. Description - A brief memo.
- Opens the help file for the current window.
