Standard tasks

Under Backup you will find a range of predefined data. In order to simplify this process for you, data is saved during the process of backing up the copies of the files under My Documents in Windows. This is done in the same way, which a range of other Windows programs, make it easy for you to save documents to this area, and find them again from this location. The program is made, so that the predefined data corresponds to the folder you find under My Documents in Windows. All you need to do is mark it off under Backup, so it starts the backup copy.

If you are a Mamut Business Software or Mamut Home Software user, we strongly recommend that you backup your data, by using the relevant function in these programs. In addition, we recommend that you save these files using Mamut Teamwork. There is little help in a backup copy that is stored on the same machine as the program when the machine breaks down.

You can back up data from Microsoft Outlook. The predefined task for backup of Microsoft Outlook data allows you to choose which files to back up, as well as when the backup will run.

This enables you to backup your Windows desktop. Remember though that the desktop often consists of shortcuts to files and programs and that backing up the shortcut will not backup the actual file or program unless it also exists in another location which you have chosen to backup.

Here, you can backup your bookmarks from your web browser and your links to the Windows explorer. This way you can save time when you need to replace your computer or the hard disk on your machine, re-install your operating system or if you just want to make sure that you have the same shortcuts available on different computers.

Tip! You can synchronise your Favourites with the Sync function. Add a bookmark to your web browser at home. If you have set a Sync with your work PC, you will find the bookmark again on your work computer the next day! Read more in the section Sync.

Please be aware that this standard task folder, by default, does not contain subfolders which are standard tasks themselves. So in this task folder you will find everything that is stored in My documents on your machine but not folders such as 'My pictures', 'My music' etc. as they get set up as separate standard tasks (see below).

These options will ensure the backup of your folders with the same name as in your Windows user account.

This task is created by the program. A folder in your my documents will also be set up. If you choose to Share data, you will use this folder to do so. With the help of the Share wizard you will be able to create subfolders, which can be shared with several other Mamut Teamwork users.
