To select an option from the popup menu, you can either highlight the option using the
Home
,
End
and
Up
and
Down
Arrow keys and then press
Enter
, or you can use the hotkey method. The hotkey method allows
you to choose an option by pressing the keyboard character which corresponds to the highlighted (yellow)
letter in the option of your choice. The Esc key will close the popup menu without making a new
selection.
Once you have selected a file type, it will be displayed on the bottom border of the main window.
The File Type that you pick dictates which files are operated on by the next Backup or Delete operation.
Once a File Type has been selected, it will stay set until you change it again. This means you can set the
Start and End Dates, set the File Type and then do a Backup and then do a Delete with the same settings.
If you pick All Files, data files of all type (Hourly, Daily, Weekly and Monthly) are operated on at once,
if you pick All (Not Hourly) the files types operated on will be the Daily, the Weekly and the Monthly
files only.
Note: If Weekly or Monthly files are going to be included in the Backup or Delete operation, the
Start Date must be the 1st of a month and the End Date must be the last day in a month
(but the Start Date and End Date do not need to be in the same month, so 1/09/1994 and
31/10/1994 is a valid period).
This applies to the All Files setting too, as the All Files setting includes the Weekly and Monthly data
files automatically.
Set Start
Before you can use the Backup or Delete options, you must first tell the Backup Utility which type of
Data Files you wish to work with, and also the Start Date and End Date of the period in which you wish
to carry out the Backup or Delete operation.
You enter the Start Date for the work period in the format DD/MM/YYYY, so that February 1st 1994
would be entered as 01/02/1994.
Dates are checked as they are entered to make sure that you haven’t asked for the 32nd of a month, or a
date next year and so forth.
Once you have set the Start Date and the End Date you can use them repeatedly. They stay set until you
change them.
This means you can set the two dates and say, Backup the Hourly Files, then do a Delete on the Hourly
Files in the same period, then do a Backup on the Daily Files and then Delete those too, all with one
setting for the Start and End Dates.
Note: You can’t enter a date in the current month, only full elapsed months can be worked on.
Also, if you want to work with Weekly, Monthly or All Files the Start Date MUST be the
first day in a month.
