Network and Local Backup

Quick Backup can backup your local data and your network data!

Backup and restore network local data and network drives, select individual folders or complete network drives. If something happens to your server, you can restore the whole backed up network of a particular data to its original server. Alternatively you can manually restore the components of network backup, e.g. folders or files from a selected time from your backup.

How to select your data from backup

On the basic backup source selection dialog, you can select directories that are commonly selected as backup source for backup:

• Desktop folder
• My Documents folder
• Favourites folder
• Microsoft Outlook
• Windows Mail

Click on [Advanced] button to access the advanced backup source dialog to select other files and directories for backup.

Advanced Backup Source

The checkbox beside a root drives, directory or file can be in one of the following mode:

• All directories and files under this directory will be backed up.
• All directories and files under this directory except those explicitly excluded will be backed up. Directories and files selected to this directory in the future will be backed up as well.
• Only the checked directories and files under this directory will be backed up. Directories and files selected to this directory in the future will not be backed up.
• No directory or file under this directory will be backed up.

Network Backup Requirements

For backup of network shared drive, you need to specify a Windows domain account for the backup client application with sufficient permission to access the network location (by default, the backup application services run as Local System, which does not have permission for accessing network resource).
