Editing tasks

You are also able to edit your backup folders later on. Maybe there are so many documents, that you do not have enough space for all of them or maybe it is not necessary to have a backup of all the folders included in the tasks. In this case you can choose to exclude certain file types or subfolders from the current task.

How to edit standard tasks for backup

Click on the icon to expand/view the tasks in Backup.
Click on the icon to view the details for the current task.
Click on Filter.
Click on Excluded subfolders if you want to exclude a subfolder.

Tip! Subfolders which you have previously chosen to exclude, can also be added here.
Should you want to exclude one or several file types, you can simply enter the file types you wish to exclude, e.g. .avi. Click Add to choose file types from the folder that is being backed up. File types you select for exclusion here will be added to the ones selected under Tools - Advanced - View excluded file types.

The backup process starts as soon as you click on OK and takes place in real time.

Each time you change the content of a folder you have marked for backup, the changes are saved on the server. Under Tools - Schedule you are able to select that the backup shall occur during specific intervals, or specific times of the day. This assumes that your PC is turned on when the backup shall take place.

You do not have to do anything else, e.g. deleting the files on the server, if you have excluded one or more folders. Your user account will be cut off from these folders and they will no longer count towards the storage allowance for your account.

Folder

Here you can view the task name and folder path. If the path to the folder is no longer correct due to having moved the folder or changed its name on your computer, you can change the path to the folder here.

Unlock this task: All backup tasks are locked by default, this is so that you will not risk deleting a task by mistake. This way you cannot delete a task, which in turn means you cannot delete the backed up files on the server, unless you first unlock the task by ticking this box. The files are re-locked every time you startup the program.

View files: Click here to open the File list window. This will show you the files on hold and you may choose manually what to do with these. Click on View all to see all the files which are OK.

Access

This option is only available in the Send, Stream and Share functions. The window shows you who has been given access, for example who is 'participating' in a task. You can also invite others to receive the file/folder from here by choosing Send invitation. This will initiate the invitation wizard again.

Priority

It is possible to assign priority for all new tasks. In addition to pausing a task, you can now adjust the priority level of the task. Click the icon for Priority on the task, and choose which priority to apply to the task in relation to other tasks, or pause the task.
