Setting up computer performance and backup speed
To set up the computer performance and backup speed, see below.
You can select one of the following options:
•
Performance: If you select the
Use more computer resources
option, F-Secure Online Backup uses all
the resources that it needs for backing up the files.
On a faster computer, this may greatly increase the backup speed. On a computer with limited resources,
using the more computer resources may slow down the Internet connection or the whole computer.
If you have a rather new computer, you may want to try this option. However, if you notice that selecting
this option slows down your computer, you can always turn off the option.
•
Preferred upload speed: From the
Preferred upload speed
drop-down menu, you can select a speed at
which you want to have your files backed up.
Note:
The preferred upload speed in the drop-down menu is defined in kilobytes per second (KB/s).
For example, if you select 50KB/s, it equals 400 kb/s (kilobits per second).
Saving version history
If you modify local office documents that have already been backed up, you can select whether the modified
versions are also included in the backup.
You can do this by selecting or clearing the
Save changed documents
option under 'Save version history
of office documents'.
Note:
The
Save changed documents
option applies only to office documents.
By default, the
Save changed documents
option is cleared. It means that modified documents replace the
previous versions in the backup. In this way, the latest version is always included in the backup.
To save version history:
1.
Select the
Save changed documents
option. The latest version and a certain number of previous versions
are all included in the backup.
2.
Select the number of versions you want to keep in the 'Maximum number of versions to save' list.
For example, if you select 3, the original document and two previous versions of it are included in the
backup.
If you often make a lot of changes in many files, we recommend that you do not select this option. The
size of your backup may easily grow, and restoring may take longer.
Preserving deleted files in the backup
Under
Remove excluded or deleted files from the backup
, the
After 30 days
option is selected by default.
This means that if you delete files on your computer, they are still kept in the backup for 30 days. In this way,
you can restore deleted files later. You can change the number of days the files are kept in the backup.
If you select the
Immediately
option, after deleting a file on your computer, the file is also deleted in the
backup.
Changing proxy settings
In the proxy settings section, you can edit the existing proxy settings, or set up a new proxy to connect to the
Internet via an HTTP proxy.
To change the proxy settings:
