Using Mamut Teamwork

No, you cannot. You can backup and send files locally from your own machine only. This applies to all the other functions as well.

I have several Windows user accounts setup on my PC and want all of them to use the program. What do I need to do?

You can install the program separately for each user account in the operating system. All users should have their own accounts for Mamut Teamwork, which you register with their own e-mail addresses.

Only changes made in files or documents will be uploaded again. If you, for example, write a new paragraph in a large text document, only this new/edited text will be uploaded.

You can choose whether you want to take backups continuously, at certain intervals or at specific times throughout the day. Continuous backup will give you the best possible security since backups are being uploaded as soon as you are done working on a file.

No, you can switch your machine off any time you like. If your selected files and folders should not be fully updated when you switch off your PC or disconnect from the Internet, Mamut Teamwork will continue once your computer connects to the Internet again. The same applies in the event of a power failure or unexpected loss of your Internet connection. Partially uploaded files will not show in the History window until they are fully stored. If you have chosen to take backups at certain times, your PC will need to be switched on then.

In the event of you being offline, the Mamut Teamwork-icon in the Windows taskbar will turn red. Once you are back online any changes you may have made to your selected files will be synchronised immediately. The icon will then turn orange for the duration of the up - or download. Thus changes made when offline will always be saved. The icon will turn green when you are online and all selected files and folders will be saved.

History shows data which is backed up or downloaded with the help of the remaining functions from the machine and the account you are logged in to at the time. With the help of History you are able to restore basic files or folders from the machine you are logged in to. This is shown in a calendar, where you are able to see the history of backup copying of the different files. In this window you can access files as they appeared on a given date.

The Restore function has been designed to make it as easy as possible for you to restore data from a machine that is no longer in use or another machine you are accessing via the same user account. However, this function enables you to restore the latest version of a file only. Here, you can start a route to restore an earlier backup copy, either to your machine, or to another machine, for example if you have changed machines or it has broken down.

Just check which files or folders have been selected in Mamut Teamwork backup tasks. Click on History in the toolbar to see which of these have actually been backed up on the server.

You will get a message letting you know that your storage space has been filled. Then, you can either remove some files or folders from your tasks or you can upgrade the application to give you more storage space. You can do this by clicking on Account in the toolbar and selecting Buy more storage space. This will take you to a site where you can order more storage space.

You can delete a task in Mamut Teamwork by unlocking it first and then deleting it. The files will then no longer be accessible on the server and the storage space will be freed for other tasks. If you would like to terminate using Mamut Teamwork completely and want to remove all files from the server, you can do so by selecting Delete data/account in the Account window under Tools.

Should you wish to uninstall the program, go to Tools - Account and select Delete data/account. Your data will then disappear from the server and you will have to consider this data lost. Afterwards, you can uninstall the program via the Start menu on your computer.

I have an ADSL connection and thus not as much outward bandwidth. How will Mamut Teamwork work in this case?

All uploading takes place in the background. You can also restrict how much bandwidth Mamut Teamwork is allowed to use in the Tools menu. Choose Network and then set the bandwidth you want to commit. By adjusting the bandwidth in relation to your capacity, you will not notice anything when backups are taken. The first-time backup of your files may take some time. Backing up changes you make to files and folders in your backup tasks will generally take much less time than the very first backup you undertake.
