Backup Directory Tree

This feature creates a batch file Backup.Bat in the Bible directory and allows you to keep a backup of your files on another computer or or another hard drive.

To use this feature -

• Locate the source and target directory by clicking on the "Set Source" and "Set Target" buttons. Click on start.

• Click on edit to change the list. Remove any files from the list that you do not want backed up.

• Click on execute to start the update operation.

Hint:

You can also execute the Backup.bat from the command prompt.

For Large Terabyte Drive Backups

To create multiple backups of a large drive do the following:

1. Create multiple subdirectories on the large drive that will each hold your backup.
e.g BackupA, BackupB, BackupC.
2. Create Large.Txt file on Terabyte drive containing the following text on separate lines
   BackupA
   BackupB
   BackupC
   These names may be anything.
3. Do regular backup using the main computer and one of the subdirectories you created on the Terabyte drive. When the program sees "Large.Txt" on the target drive it automatically selects the oldest directory for the backup and makes that the target directory.
4. Latest backup is marked with an "*". All backups are marked with date and time.
5. To use specified target directory, press shift and then click on Start Button.

Backup only Source Files and delete all other Target Files

This option makes the Target Files look exactly like the Source Files.

1. Copies all source files to corresponding Target files only if Date and Time Stamp is different on that file. New Source Files are added to Target and older ones replaced.
2. Deletes all Target Files that do not have a corresponding Source File. If you clean up the Source, you do not want files to reappear from Target.
3. Even if Date and Time Stamp on Target File is newer that corresponding Source File, it is replaced by the Source File.
