Backup Options
Mode:
This section defines how many versions of copied files you wish to keep. (The “Backup
Decisions” section in chapter 1 will help you decide the best strategy for you.) By default, Intego
Backup Manager Pro saves all old versions of your files until your backup disk is full; however, you
can choose to save only a specific number of old versions.
The other option in the Mode popup menu is “Keep the latest version of each file only.” Selecting
that reveals three different options.
•
“Remove files deleted from source” ensures that your backup doesn’t contain copies of any
files that you removed in the source location. In this case, your backup precisely reflects the
current contents of your source.
•
“Overwrite destination files, even if they are more recent than in source” makes the backup
truly one-way: it assumes the source contains the definitive versions of a file that you want
to keep, no matter what. This could be useful if (for example) you use files at the backup
location for testing purposes while those at the source location are used for “real” business.
•
“Back up to root level of destination when only one source is defined” produces a “mirror”
of the source that could be less complicated than other backup schemes.
