How Safe & Sound Creates Automatic Backups
When you select to have Safe & Sound automatically create a backup set for
you, it creates the first backup set while you are stepping through the Safe &
Sound Wizard. Thereafter, while the Enable Automatic Backup option is
selected, it continues to update your backup set at the time delay you’ve
specified. If you chose to make Mirror backups, Safe & Sound updates your
backup set at the same time that you resave the original source files.
If you select a write-behind delay longer than zero seconds (a Mirror backup),
Safe & Sound updates the backup set at any time after the specified time delay
when your PC is idle. This allows Safe & Sound to work in the background so
that it does not interrupt the work you are doing. This is a good option to use
with the protected volume file backup type since it eliminates any speed loss
due to more frequent disk accesses and larger file sizes associated with the
protected volume file backup type.
NOTE:
For more information on Safe & Sound such as how to create a
backup set, restore files from a backup set and modify backup sets, refer
to the online Help file.
